The Republic of the Marshall Islands, one of the lowest lying island nations in the world, has declared a national emergency over climate change.
The countrys president, Hilda Heine, tweeted the news Friday, blaming the international community for not acting quickly enough to mitigate global warming of its own making.
Our parliament has officially declared a national climate crisis. As one of only four low-lying coral atoll nations in the world, the failure of the international community to adequately respond to the global climate crisis of its own making holds particularly grave consequences, she tweeted.
The official declaration of the National Climate Crisis cites the findings of the United Nation Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report that warned of the extreme climate effects expected to impact low-lying atoll nations.
The report predicted that a global average temperature rise between 1 and 3 degrees Celsius could result in an average sea level rise between one and four feet by 2100.

That was almost 120 years ago. Technical capabilities for such tasks are much greater now, so what have the Marshall Islands done to protect their lands?
Let this ignorant fool drown. Her carbon footprint and stupidity needs to be erased so sane people can survive.
