Tuvalu

(TUVALU)


The other day, I studied about Tuvalu in a class. I haven't known about this country before. After I knew about it, I felt that we have to think more about global warming.


Now, Tuvalu is facing a submergence crisis, because of global warming. Submergence means to be under the water. Tuvalu is located in the pacific ocean between Australia and Hawaii. Tuvalu is the fewest population country as an independent country.

Tuvalu consists of eight islands. The highest elevation is a just only 5 meters above sea level. Because of this low elevation, this island may be threatened by sea level rise. In the future, this country will be submereged by high tide.


Can you imagine that my country is submerged by sea??


i think this is so serioius problem!


Global warming cause a lot of problems.

I watched this country on TV. I think today's jump in oil prices gives an opportunity to think about environmental problems to all people.
