Kiribati is an island nation located in the central tropical Pacific Ocean. It is composed of 32 atolls and one raised coral island, dispersed over 3.5 million square kilometres, (1,351,000 square miles) straddling the equator, and bordering the International Date Line at its easternmost point.
In 2009, climatologists predict that by the end of the century the water level would rise to 1.1 meters and in this case Kiribati, like many other states of Polynesia, the vortex would be eaten by ocean.
Anote Tong, head of the Republic of Kiribati, is convinced that the Government should plan the resettlement of people, if global warming causes ocean levels to rise to sink that territory.
For years, scientists warned the world about the dire consequences of climate change. Floods, extreme temperatures, catastrophic weather events magnitudes for living things, are just some of the most noticeable consequences. Not only .-
The situation of the islands is alarming. Entire communities were relocated and many crops have been destroyed by rising sea level. The distraught president said that before the end of the century, the islands and atolls that form the archipelago will be submerged and its 110 thousand inhabitants should be moved to other countries, so Tong called on the international community to help to resettle its citizens .
