Residents of Tuvalu, one of the world’s lowest-lying island nations, are preparing for a historic migration as the impacts of climate change push the country closer to becoming uninhabitable.
Thousands of Tuvaluans have applied for a new visa program that allows them to relocate to Australia in response to rising sea levels threatening their homeland.
The Pacific Engagement Visa, part of a treaty between Australia and Tuvalu, is the world’s first climate migration agreement. It offers Tuvaluan citizens the opportunity to permanently move to Australia to escape the imminent threat of flooding back home. Only 280 people will be accepted into the program each year, but more than 5,000 residents (nearly half the country's total population) have applied for the first round, which will be determined by random lottery system from now through January of 2026.
The urgency of the response underscores the severity of Tuvalu’s situation. Located in the South Pacific between Australia and Hawaii, Tuvalu consists of nine coral atolls with an average elevation of just six feet above sea level.
Some parts of the islands are only a few dozen feet wide. Even the country’s highest point is only 15 feet above sea level, nowhere near enough protection against the accelerating threat of sea level rise.

LOL! Gonna tip over any day now! 😆
Yeah the pesky facts get in the way of a good narrative though. Gotta be man’s fault that so ehting is changing.
So, “rising seas” occur someplace in Asia, but meanwhile Plymouth Rock is still dry.
“ They should be more worried about tsunamis,”
They should be worried about a fat guy doing a cannon ball into the water.
Stopped reading at “climate change”.
Tuvalu is sinking, man, and I don’t wanna swim!
Hank Johnson, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
What’s wrong with letting the Tuvaluans drown ?
Sorry for the typo: “rising”.
Great fact checking guys:
“Current projections show sea level is likely to rise another 2.5 feet in the next 75 hours, inundating much of Tuvalu’s land and infrastructure.”
2.5 feet in 75 hours? They should panic.
Or maybe, the water isn't rising, but the island is sinking. Kind of the way the earth has been acting for billions of years.
Maybe we can shoot down the moon to calm the seas, problem solved.

I want to see the science that says the seas are rising from melting ice.
Here’s an analysis proving that Tuvalu is GAINING area, not loosing it:https://wattsupwiththat.com/2023/11/20/tuvaluans-may-escape-to-australia-but-if-they-do-associated-press-it-wont-be-because-of-climate-change/
LOL! The dumb natives will move to the desert or something and rich leftist Australians will buy up the island property.
No where in the article does it say they measured a rise in the sea level. The whole scam is based on the FEAR of a rising seal level.
Had a vacation in Fiji years ago. The owner of the cottage we stayed at said to throw any scraps (chicken bones, fish heads) into the saltwater pond next to the place and the crabs would take care of them. Great place..
The difference between high tide and low tide in Tuvalu can easily be 6 feet. That makes sea level rise a rounding or timing error.

Rising seas also do not affect Martha’s Vineyard for some reason.
