Vanuatu Prime Minister Charlot Salwai says his country is an innocent victim of climate change which he will always remind the perpetrators of global warming.
Mr Salwai made the comment as he thanked the European Union's Ambassador to Vanuatu for funding the country's biggest solar power farm that has over 2000 solar panels.
Without naming any particular country, the prime minister said it was those superpowers who refused to endorse the Paris climate agreement.
He said he had reminded the United Nations three times of the urgent need for Pacific Islands to be compensated for their land loss due to sea level rise.
Mr Salwai said Vanuatu's first enemy was climate change and it was not going to sit by and watch its shores slip under the sea.
Hard for me to feel sorry for Vanatu, after all the money they scammed from people over the last 20 years.
If they’re correct about sea level rise then soon the island will be completely underwater. Problem solved.
Here’s a quarter,Charlotte...call somebody who gives a rat’s a$$!

Better start bailing water then lol
“We must throw a virgin into the volcano as a sacrifice to save us! Somebody get David Hogg!”
In other words: I need to top-up my Swiss Bank Account. All you guilty-ridden western liberals need to give us money!!!
Maybe it erosion or maybe the island is sinking..it is not globalWarming..fools all..
I believe many of these people are on USA welfare.
Percent of welfare recipients who are Asian or Pacific Islander 18 % 12,220,000

Pacific Island Thought To Be Sinking Is Actually Growing

“Save Tuvalu, save the world” was the battle cry at the 2015 climate conference in Peru. The prime minister of that tiny Pacific island nation begged the conference to keep his country from “disappearing.”
...
“But how “certain” is it? A study by the University of Auckland discovered that, far from “disappearing,” the island atolls that make up the nation are actually growing.”

The Solomon and Vanuatu Islands are subduction-related features caused by the subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate beneath the greater Pacific Plate. It is a seismically active area of frequent large earthquakes. This animation addresses both the subduction earthquakes, as well as a strike-slip component between the island chains. Basically the earthquakes are caused by the northeasterly movement of the Indo-Australian Plate as it dives beneath the Pacific Plate, but there are variations along the plate boundaryThe Solomon and Vanuatu Islands occupy the center of a region that is marked by a complicated arrangement of tectonic micro plates crushed between the greater Pacific and Indo-Australian Plates. It is a seismically active area of frequent large earthquakes. The Australian continent is moving northeast at a rate of ~6 cm/year with variation along the boundaries up to 13 cm/year. In the region of the Solomon and Vanuatu islands, the earthquakes are caused by the northeasterly movement of the Indo-Australian Plate as it dives beneath the Pacific Plate.
Maybe the Indo-Australian plate is sucking the leading edge of the Pacific Plate down with it. Simply put, the earth is probably swallowing their Island.
“”Vanatu Islands are SUBDUCTING.””
Thanks for posting. Too many people are claiming to be victims of global warming or profiteers of global warming, when the reality is simple plate tectonics.
I thought Vanuatu was supposed to be underwater already according to several warmist predictions.
Dear Vanuatu,
I can make you a deal on some dirt.

Mr. Salwai, I guess it sucks to be you.
The governmetns of the Melanesian islands have, I believe (though am not sure) assurances from Australia that they could move there when their land disappears
Now if your country's land was going to disappear and you knew it, what would you do?
It makes sense for the guy to try #2 as well - these people will lose everything and their islands, in general, didn't have much resources (except for Nauru) to build up capital.
So either have your people go to land X as poor refugees or see if they can get some money and somehow not be that poor.
