The sea level is rising so fast that residents are constantly building walls to protect their homes from the ocean. In 2007 the president of Kiribati, Anote Tong, launched a call for help that turned fiction into reality. He asked the international community to find a host country in view of the exodus of his fellow citizens, thus making them the first climatic refugees in history. In an effort to make himself heard, he asked rich countries to face their responsibilities, reminding them that, backed up by scientific proof, the rise of sea level is due to greenhouse gas emissions. A form of pollution unknown to his country, as it has forever been devoid of any industry.
