Micronesia is slowly disappearing due to rising waters in the Pacific.
The first kind includes nations like the U.S. -- wealthy enough to help their citizens adapt to the temperature rise of 2 degrees Fahrenheit that scientists say is likely within 40 years, and almost inevitable.
The second kind of nation includes the world's poor countries, such as Bangladesh. They are likely, say scientists, to suffer far more than the rich nations, unable to help millions of climate refugees seeking food and water ... but they don't face the prospect of disappearing altogether.
The third kind, they say, may disappear entirely -- and quite possibly within the lifetime of today's teenagers. They are made up of islands, threatened by rising sea levels. They say it is not a future risk, but something that is happening now.
Take the vast island nation of Micronesia, with an ancient culture that includes 607 islands, scattered across a million square miles of the western Pacific.
These islands are already being eroded away by fast-rising sea level -- so fast that graveyards are disappearing.
I don't know what to make of this. I am not sure what to believe on global warming yet. I am not sure I believe it or not. There is just not enough time to study the weather our information only goes back to 100 years. I just don't know about this
