How do you move an entire country?
Check out the post on information regarding islands that are losing land to the sea due to climate change. Thousands of people will lose their homes within a few years and their governments have no real means to pay for relocation; nor does the UN recognise refugee status for those who lose their homelands due to climate. Video is included of islanders showing the encroachment of the sea and how the loss of these islands will also mean the loss of a cultural identity for those left adrift. One of the videos points out that industrialised nations spend millions--billions--on war. Why can't we spend money on relocating those affected by our emissions in a way that will preserve their way of life?
