What I learned about Kiribati

1. Kiribati is a small group of islands in the South China Sea, and is south of Hawaii. It is made out of three groups of 33 small islands. The population in Kiribati is around 100,000 people. They believe they exists around 3000 years ago, they originated from Micronesian people. Historians said that Micronesian people came from a tribe in China. Kiribati has there own language, their second language is English because their colonized by the British Empire. Environmental experts said that Kiribati will disappear in 50 years, it will disappear sooner if we continue to cause global warming. The people of Kiribati rely a lot on the sea, but the sea is attacking Kiribati caused by global warming. Kiribati is made out of coral islands, thats why there is not a lot of plants or trees. that industries are dying because there is no pure water and there is no land to hold upon. Sometimes it doesn't rain for three years and it cause the plants and people to die... They start to depend on rain water when the water wells are contaminated with salt water. Salt water is making farming almost impossible. Hotter weather makes the fishes go deeper in to the to be out of the sun or for cooler water, it makes fishing harder too. The sea is getting higher, so the people live close to the sea has to move their house. The highest point on Kiribati is 2 meters above sea level! The government of Kiribati is trying to save his country by asking other big, rich, and developed countries such as the U.S.A to produce less co2. Those country respond by not responding....(Is it funny?) The Government of Kiribati is also asking for other countries to migrate people from Kiribati in to their country. But some people don't want to leave their land because their ancestors fought for it, so they have to fight for their land too.
