Way of life of Pacific islanders being lost to climate change

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/mar/09/losing-paradise-the-people-displaced-by-atomic-bombs-and-now-climate-change

A young girl crosses the lagoon at high tide to get some water for her family, who live on a thin strip of sand that gets cut off from the main island every high tide. A boy swims next to his house in Temwaiku. Pollution is a huge issue in South Tarawa with virtually non-existent hard waste management, and here more rubbish is deposited with the tide each day.

Some of the people living in the Marshall Islands and Kiribati have been displaced from their homes due to American nuclear testing sites, now they are threatened by climate change.
