MAJURO (Taiwan News) – In May 2016, the Reuters news service reported findings from Australian researchers that five small islands of the Solomon Islands had disappeared because of rising sea level and erosion; these submerged islands were, fortunately, uninhabited by human beings.
However, in other parts of the Pacific Ocean, the number of environmental refugees continues to mount due to sea level rise, surging temperatures, unusual storms, and enduring droughts.
