"Today, roughly 1 million people live on coral islands worldwide, and many more millions live on low-lying real estate vulnerable to the rising waves. At risk are not just people, but unique human cultures, born and bred in watery isolation." (MOTHER JONES) This article, focusing on the nine-island nation of Tuvalu in the South Pacific, discusses concern over how rising waters will adversely affect islands and other low-lying areas.
