An island nation in the Pacific is in danger of vanishing due to rising levels of salt in their wells. The ocean waves threaten to split this tiny island into two separate islands.
The rising ocean levels is raising many questions: What will happen to the 61,000 Marshallese and their homes? Will they still be a nation? Are they still part of the U.N? This is scary for the natives since this is their lives. However, they live on an island. It's bound to happen at some point. No island will fully survive the wrath of the ocean forever. It's a shame that these people may be out of homes and their fisheries, but they should also have known the risks of living on an island.
