Islands of Tuvalu-Reading

Islands of Tuvalu The nine beautiful islands of Tuvalu, in the Pacific Ocean, have always been at a very low sea level, They are only just above the surface of the ocean now, but the sea is rising every year Tropical storms on the island have begun to get much worse since the 1980 s. Rising sea waters cause floods. The floods are destructive - turning whole villages into lakes. One of the problems is that the sea water is making the land too salty, so it is impossible to grow any crops. This natural disaster has caused a feeling of sadness in the hearts of many, and experts believe it was caused by climate change. They think the problem is going to get worse. These tiny islands will disappear completely unless we can stop global warming. The Tuvalans face a difficult dilemma.

However if they leave, they will suffer deeply Tuvalu is the only home they have ever known.
