The Islands are no More!

I recently came across a story about how the Islands of Fiji are disappearing into the sea. The shore around the islands are much farther up than they used to be. The coral and mangroves of the island are disappearing. The Fijians are worried, and for a laid back society... that is saying something.

I know that this is happening to every island around the world. As the ice caps melt, there is naturally more water. But, having spent my honeymoon there Fiji has a special little place in my heart. Despite the fact that I fell down a water fall and busted my camera (& bruised myself up). The islands are pure beauty, and the have things like Kava there! Now, they are slowly melting away... scientists predict a drastic change on the islands in the next 20 years.

Despite all of the evidence my father (and right-wing religous nuts, i.e. Dobson) still refuse to believe in global warming. Maybe when the islands disappear they will change their minds! My advice to everyone now is to go see the islands as soon as possible! And maybe someone should alert the castaways of flight 815 and the others to get off that damn island!
