Hoping you will ignore the real problems.
The government of Kiribati knows their islands are not sinking. They just want you to not notice the real problems.
Like salt water incursion into fresh water wells because coral mining to build resorts has cracked the islands foundations and allowed the ocean into rock that previously trapped only rain water.
Or that they have developed the islands beyond the capacity to sustain them with food and water.
Or that they are literally burying themselves under a growing pile of garbage generated by the resorts that have been built there.
Or the dying coral and reduced fish populations around the islands caused by the runoff of excess fertilizer used to keep those lush lawns green at the resorts.
Or the fact that uncontrolled immigration between 1995 and 2000 grossly over populated South Tarawa island to the point it can barely sustain its self today.
Or that the construction of a causeway between Betio and Bairiki islands directly lead to a change in local currents that submerged the tiny islands of Bikeman and Abanuea during the 1990s.
But then again, this is a global warming issue. So facts do not matter.
