Rising sea levels created by the melting of Earth’s polar ice caps
and glaciers pose such a threat to the low-lying Pacific island nation
of Kiribati that its leader said this week they were in talks to
purchase land in neighboring Fiji for a mass relocation of its citizens.
Kiribati President Anote Tong said that they were specifically eyeing

Tong added that the mass migration was “our last resort” after a number
of its tropical atolls vanished beneath the waves. None of the nation’s
islands sit higher than two meters above sea level.
The nation has about 102,000 citizens spanning about 32 atolls across
a size of the Pacific roughly equivalent to the continental United
