Watch w transcript 5 Countries Sinking Underwater: Climate Change’s Deadliest Warning, WION Podcast. The need to relocate populations came up in a post here at Heating Planet blog a few hours ago. Here's an elaboration on that issue by WION, a report today on residents of five nations already needing to move due to permanent global warming damage. Climate migration will likely become more critical soon- transcript follows TRANSCRIPT:
Welcome to the WION podcast where we explore fascinating stories and ideas from various fields. In this episode, we uncover five nations slowly drowning beneath rising seas where homes, cultures, and entire countries fight a desperate battle for survival against climate change's relentless tide.
First, we begin with Tuvalu. It is a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean with about 11,000 people. Rising sea levels threaten to cover it completely by 2050. The government has arranged for people to move to Australia with a special visa scheme. This is the first country to plan full evacuation because of climate change.
Next comes the Maldives. It is made up of many small islands in the Indian Ocean. Experts say that by 2050 nearly 80% of the Maldives could be underwater due to rising seas. The government is working hard on climate actions but faces serious challenges.
Then we turn to Kiraibati. It is losing land each year. Some islands disappeared underwater in past decades. Over half its population now lives on just one island causing overcrowding. Kiraibati has a program to help people adapt and ask for help to move citizens if needed.
Following that are the Marshall Islands. They face frequent flooding from the sea. Rising water harms homes and freshwater supply. Leaders make climate change a key focus and look for ways to protect their population from being forced to move.
And finally, we reach Bangladesh. Its low coastal areas flood often due to rising rivers and seas. Nearly 20 million people live in the most vulnerable zones. Flooding threatens homes, farms, and safety. Efforts are in place to build better flood barriers and warn communities. Thanks for tuning into this incredible story,

[KE: Everything climate scientists predicted about global warming since the 1970s is coming true, only faster, we have known about the need to relocate populations if climate change continued for decades.]
