I was born in kiribati and I just can't help crying when i see that it will be gone soon. I was planning to go back to visit when I grow up

[@hiya6837]

then get out of that Country goto Paraguay its gud there

[@nightcorefreak1979]

Celestine GS ME TOOO!!! I am kiribati but I wasnt born there but I want to share and feel the pain of what those poor people went in there life time and help them of donating some of my money to help them build a bigger wall to help them more

[@benjaminbutton9779]

actually luckly very far from all wars and other shit on world that we are suffering much from, another world with peace, but everything has a cost to pay and that land has this , i think other countries has place to take refugees for such small population

This is so sad, I feel like more should be done to save Kiribati and its beautiful people

[@MetaMorphosing1442]

I am trying to understand the so-called Global Warming. If Global Warming is causing the islands to flood, why are the water levels in the Gulf of Mexico still the same as when I was a child? I am now 54 years old and trying to understand how water that is connected will rise only in certain areas. Could the disappearing islands be caused by too much sand taken from the oceans and the oceans are refilling itself with the islands??? Makes more sense to me. In 1973, we used a dirt road in Mobile Alabama to reach one of our fishing areas. The road and that area was only 2' above sea level. Today that road and fishing area are still only 2' above sea level. Help me understand this???

[@Joe-Przybranowski]

Water levels in the Gulf are in fact higher. Much of Louisiana for example is under water and we lose more every day. What these sources always fail to mention however is that like Louisiana, these atolls are not just being inundated- they are also sinking.

[@charleyjr.iriarte7428]

I am part Kiribati. My mom's dad is from the island of Tarawa. With this said, I share their struggle. It is my hope as a Christian that they will find more lands (in the hearts of men) in whichever foreign countries to live on. May God bless my words. I pray amen.

It's really a shame that few people know about it and few people fight for Kiribati. I've looked around Facebook and all the Internet, but I haven't found any trace of ongoing international support for Kiribati's cause. It's not reasonable to think that climate change might stop overnight, but still the cause definitely needs more audience and I feel like we should do anything we can to help Kiribati

[@SargentoBonzo]

[@BS-Fact-checker]

These Islands are not effected by climate change. Check some facts first like this easily found information online. stream.org/nation-kiribati-growing-not-sinking/ It seems if you blame a natural occurrence on climate change you'll get publicity and more importantly money. Yep just another sneaky cash grab and fooling the naive climate change believers of the world.

[@benjaminbutton9779]

its sad but world is not very peaceful place , do you know whats going on at afghanistan, iraq , syria , palastine , people dying and living under bomb rain , expecting to not die everyday. As you don't know this , nobody cares about an island looks like a small dot on world map and disconnected so far from all lands in the middle of ocean existance.

[@mikesohana]

Lets try to look at some facts for a change. The Hawaiian archipelago is a string of volcanic islands produced in a similar fashion to Kiribati. Volcanic pressure pushes up on the earth crust until it punctures through and produces an island which grows until the pressure stops along with growth, and the island starts to weather and degrade. The high point on Hawaii island, the youngest island is the volcano Mauna Kea 13,803' above sea-level, on Maui the next youngest is 10023' Kawai 5280' so on out to Midway island the oldest with a height about the same as Kiribati. Does anybody notice a trend?? The reasons for this are the same, volcanos are heavy when the pressure is gone they start to sink back into the crust, remember that the ocean floor is thousands of feet below sea-level actually from its base Mauna Kea is 33000' the tallest mountain in the world! -- so it's big and heavy. Along with the sinking over time they start to chemically degrade actually even rust due to high iron content, they breakdown fall apart and wash away into the ocean until nothing is left except for the corals that grow on top as it drops below the water line, but with man stomping all over the corals along with pollution the corals will die and no sand is produced and then everything will just sink totally. I am not saying that there is not global sea rise, maybe some but not as fast as some want you to think. If the sea is rising it will show everywhere the same amount not one location. King tide is a new scare word popular now, but nothing new just the same old spring high tides that happen every year.

[@scottzundel3870]

Not only all that but according to real scientists the islands are increasing in size, not decreasing. KIRIBATI IS GROWING NOT SINKING

[@cspray5386]

Well said I'm sick of hearing all this crap about rising sea levels and climate change - scare mongering as if the world is about to end.

[@TheCDANet]

I travel frequently to the Marshall Islands. I've witnessed changes in Majuro Atoll, where I go to, in the last 4-5 years, due to king tides and also rogue waves. It is incredible to witness the power of nature. I agree with them, it is no longer a question of "if" but one of "when" these many peoples will lose their home land.

[@valdemardaraujo7811]

you got countries in the world reclaiming land from the oceans and you got countries losing land to the ocean kiribati can be saved but the resources are not there for this country to do it on its own

[@samueltanh]

Guys, build with Lime, CaO cast inside the ocean. It already proven in Pozzouli, near Napoli, Italy. Their walls are under the sea water, pounded by waves every minute for at least 2,000 years, still standing until now. I am with Saddleback PEACE plan an International Christian NGO, but I am heading to Indonesia to save their lands. I am going to build floating houses for them. Theoretically, I could save your area with EPS or Bio Polyurethane foam, but I couldn't do it alone. I am willing to share the technology and work with other NGOs.

[@peterbwareta8834]

+Samuel Tan Hadinata... thanks for your willing to help, a lot of ideas from inside and outside still flowing regarding the high tide issue in Kiribati. You share another good idea

[@jaddy540]

Floating houses are useless if the tsunami strikes.

[@jeffx4616]

I'd like to propose that what's happening to Kiribati is due to land overuse: the fresh water table that naturally existed below the surface of the island has been (relatively) quickly drained by the population for drinking and for agriculture, this has effectively deflated the island itself and contributed to erosion.

[@darkcrystal438]

They may be able to land fill like they did in Funafuti - pump crushed coral onto the land and build it up. The sea level was about 40m lower than this approx 8000 years ago - the Tuvalu island of Nanumaga has the legendary fire caves 40m below that were once lived in around 8000 years ago - well dated back that far anyway. When I first visited Funafuti it was 2meters above sea level. As of last year with the projects parts are now 4 meters above sea level. I was there while the coral was being pumped - amazing what can be accomplished against mother nature's cycles.

[@SargentoBonzo]

that's an interesting idea

[@onebourbononescotch]

I am happy to hear that there is hope and things are being done to try to save this land.

[@LeonardoMartinsf]

[@SChome100]

Great documentary

[@andrearaines1533]

I recently watched another documentary which showed areas in Kiribati, which are not going underwater, but instead are being built up with a change in tides. Lagoons filling in and such. I am a firm believer in climate change, but I hope that everyone is fairl and thorough in their reporting, so that it can be tackled with real and solid information.

[@JohnSmith-yd2cu]

It's true. The reason certain parts of Kiribati seem to be sinking is related to terrain characteristics which are rather unstable. There are various cases of new land appearing due to geomorphological changes like volcanic activity.

[@angelacincotta-segi7549]

This is an excellent report, but just a correction to the subtitles. When they are discussing the flooded area on Abaiang, it is transcribed as 'this whole area used to be papaya beach', but what he actually says is that it used to be 'papaye pits'. This is important because what he is saying is that the whole area which is now flooded used to be giant taro (papaye) gardens (pits). Giant taro is the staple food there, so now there is less land to grow the staple crop on.

[@pvChrists-Bond.Servant]

In the 1960s and early 1970s I lived with the relocated Gilbert islanders in Ghizo in the village of Titiana in the western Solomon Islands from the age of 8 to 12 years old my parents were self funded missionaries My Dad was the Manager and accountant for Burns Philips and also managed the wharf he employed a hundred or so Gilbert Men in the business as a New Zealander of Maori decent I learnt the language and was a part of the Island dancing group , I learnt how to climb coconut trees and milk the resin for Kiribati tea went shark hunting at night and sat with all the other children listening to the village Sharman as he told stories of the home lands now called Kiribati , When my family was repatriated to go back to New Zealand a group of Elders their wives and children wept and begged my parents to let them adopt me and stay . I am now 58 years old all my life I have wanted to go back but never have I still remember the action songs and the hand and leg movements , this documentary has made me home sick once again for my Kiribati family in the western Solomon Islands when I retire I will return I wonder if they will remember me

[@BarronVonSlanghammer]

I feel sorry for anyone under threat of nature and having to leave their home and lives. 40 years ago in geography classes in schools it was taught that the planet earth had from the beginning of time and over millennia, warmed and cooled in a cyclical manner, and currently we were coming out of an ice age. All of a sudden the story seems to have changed and it is anthropological reasons to blame for what has always happened. The fact that an attempt to circumnavigate history in relation to the climate using the words "THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED" seems far from the truth and a great big gaping hole is left !

[@thinker5280]

One of the fundamental tenants of hydrology is that water seeks its own level. How is it then that Kiribati is inundated with "rising sea levels" yet other locations on the planet are not seeing the same effect? For example, the Florida Keys are only 3 feet above sea level yet for at least 50 years there has been no inundation there were I personally travel. And what about the Dutch? 2/3 of the land area would be subject to flooding, yet no one is concerned about a major European country. Clearly, these volcanic islands are subducting, not drowning due to sea level increases. I would like the author of this video to explain this rather than using mere pictures as possible raison d'état.

[@lajoswinkler]

+Craig A Perman If you're willing to explain global hydrology and oceanography with an elementary school experiment, then you really need to stop and think what you're doing because it's fucking stupid. There's a lot more to sea level than just hydrostatic principle.

[@DavidBrowne-wx7cm]

Well Andrew when I was a young boy we did get king tides. They would come into our tidal river and flood the boat sheds, to the point that the salty smell permeated the sheds for weeks after. The king tide would come over the top of the tidal baths. The low tide during the time of the king tide was accentuated as well. So as the tide receded all that was left n the baths was about six inches of water in the bottom corner. When the baths had water over the railings the water was nearly seven feet deep. King tides are orchestrated by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon on the sea. When we are closest to both, then the pull is more significant. I could show you jetties under water and say the land is sinking as well. Just do not tell us you never had king tides when you were a boy because I am older than you and know the truth. Also, just for the record, islands have been growing and disappearing in our oceans for 100s of millions of years and will continue to do so long after we have gone. The only difference between now and a million years ago are that there are people on them now.

[@jeffx4616]

I would also like to point out that erosion, floods, drought, lack of freshwater, etc., aren't necessarily caused by CLIMATE: in the 20's and 30's, in the US, massive floods and droughts and dust storms were caused by OVERUSE of the land by MAN, not by CLIMATE, and not by man's CO2 emissions! I would direct you to Life Magazine’s History of the United States, 1933-1945 (p. 40):”The plundering of the land brought catastrophe to the East as well as the West. Water could not be absorbed by the bare and burned slopes of devastated Eastern forests or the sod-denuded grasslands; rain and melting snow ran off fast, overflowing river banks. Along with the dust storms the nation suffered the greater floods in its history. Much of Pittsburgh was inundated; the Potomac rose 26 feet at Washington and threatened government buildings; the Ohio took the lives of 900 people and drove 500,000 families from their homes.” Combined this with the drought and dust storms in the West, and you can start to see the effects of MAN, not by climate, but by his MIS-use of the land.

They were probably put there durijg the interglacial period before the last ice age. Earth had slighy more co2 in the air then (320 ppm instead of 280 ppm, the amount of co2 that was in the air before the industrial revolution in england) and the ocean was 20 meters higher. Think of what will happen when the aerosols that come with the burning of fossil fuels rain out of the air after a global ban on fossil fuels. Our foodchain will be whiped out

Bond Summers we don't know because this is Kiribati and not Hawaii. You can ask hawaians for it.

[@watchgoose]

The beach erosion at Kiribati - the sand has just been washed out into the ocean. Why not use dredging equipment to put the sand BACK? and instead of replacing the seawall by hand, put in some concrete?

[@marclaurenchannel880]

With regards to planning and solutions. Some shorelines and land that have been eaten by sea water should be filled with boulders and soils. Since kiribate has no high mountains or highlands that are supposed to be the source of land fill, maybe kiribate government should seek help to some nations to send to kiribati a volume of boulders and soils for land fill.

Hey I don't doubt the sincerity of the Lady in this film, but if rising sea levels were to blame on this island, then we would see this effect elsewhere in different types of coastal areas and we're NOT. Case in point: SanFrancisco Bay - I was just down in Palo Alto driving near the mud flats at the south end of the bay, which are DIRECTLY connected to the bay and to the Pacific Ocean. Guess what? They're still there - they haven't been flooded. How is this possible if the poles are melting?
