What is the current situation of Tuvalu caused by sea level rise?

In modern times, to make a country disappear, besides war, it is a disaster brought by nature. Today, we are going to talk about a country threatened by nature. Located in the Pacific Ocean, this country is an out-and-out island country. It is also the fourth smallest country in the world, with a land area of less than 30 square kilometers, which may be the size of a small city in China. This country is called Tuvalu.

What about the disappearance of Tuvalu? It turns out that the altitude of this country is much lower than that of other island countries. Its highest altitude is only 4.5 meters, and most areas are flat. Climate warming and sea level rise make the country face the dilemma of being submerged by seawater. According to the expert's prediction, this place has become uninhabitable, almost everything has to be imported, and crops are not suitable for growth, because even if they can be planted, no crops can survive the high tide or big waves. Because after all, the maximum height of big waves here can reach three or four meters, while the highest point in Tuvalu is only five meters.

Almost everything on the island is imported because it can hardly be produced. According to reports in previous years, eating a vegetable in this country is an extravagant hope, just because it is difficult to grow crops on the island. The only crop is a very special taro, and other vegetables can only be imported. A bottle of fresh water can be as high as two dollars, and a towel can be as high as 17 dollars in this country, which is enough to show how much this country used to rely on imports.

After talking about imports, some people may wonder, where does this country's income come from? At present, in addition to fishing and issuing special stamps, a considerable number of local people can only rely on their relatives working in other countries to earn money. At present, a considerable number of people in China have emigrated abroad, but because there are basically no local educational institutions, these people can continue their studies after going abroad. Except for a few hard-working people, most of them can only do the lowest-level jobs in society.

Because the land is too small, the locals also have a joke, that is, don't wander outside at night, because wandering here is likely to accidentally end up in the sea. And this place is definitely called? Isolated from the world? Because only one ship will sail here every month, if you want to fly here, only one small plane with 30 seats will fly back and forth every week.

As for a long time ago, Tuvalu's leaders announced their intention to relocate the whole country, but almost no country was willing to accept such a large number of immigrants and was rejected by many countries. Although New Zealand later agreed, it only agreed to help evacuate, not to help move to New Zealand. However, the local elderly people are reluctant to move and live on the island with the mentality of vowing to survive. Of course, some people want to move out, but due to the economic downturn and the low education level of the people, it is difficult and insufficient for many people to move out and settle in other countries.

That's why some Tuvaluans say. The whole earth owes us an apology? . Because after all, they don't have much influence on climate warming. On the contrary, because of the warming climate and the loss of population here, many people on the island have not seen their relatives who are working hard outside for several years. Many Tuvaluans are working hard in Fiji, even though they are more than 0/000 kilometers away from their hometown/kloc-,but they can't go back to see it because they can't afford a plane ticket of several hundred dollars.

In fact, Tuvalu is definitely a paradise-class tourist destination. White beaches and clear waters, almost everyone who comes here has a different experience. Simple islanders will chat with you enthusiastically. Although we have established diplomatic relations with Taiwan Province Province, in fact, people don't hate China, just because they take money to do things. On the contrary, it is reported that many people want to immigrate to China (unconfirmed) because they have heard about the power of China. Although this news has not been confirmed, when the first China tour group arrived in Tuvalu, it was personally received by the local president, which shows its importance.

I wonder if you will consider traveling here? Are you interested in this isolated island?
