Episode 579 The Future of Tuvalu

Global warming will submerge most of Tuvalu, but Ambassador Falefou is at the UN, mobilizing support for his country’s survival. For a billion dollars or two, it is possible to raise the elevation and enable the society to continue as a sovereign country in Oceania. That is less expensive that removing the whole population to other countries, which may otherwise be necessary. The Tuvaluans plan to become the first “digital nation.”

Ambassador Tapugao Falefou

The space for comments is in a pale font. It’s good to give your comment a title by selecting it and clicking the “B” (for “boldface”). And you can italicize passages with the “I”, indent, add hyperlinks (with the chain symbol) or even attach a photo or graphic from your hard drive by clicking the paperclip at the right side of the space. Have fun with it!
