A country destined to be inundated

BusinessWeek has a sobering article of global warming related to Kiribati (基里巴斯共和國) in Pacific Ocean. This country only has 32 atolls, max. height is only 3m above sea level and max. width of the whole nation is less than 1km. It will be inundated by ocean in the years to come since people sometimes can find fishes jumping around in their living room. We probably don't feel global warming substantially; but for them, it is the devastation of the whole nation.
