Sea levels are rising at a phenomenal rate and sea walls, have vanished under the tide. ''The island is sinking'', laments one woman. We see it with our own eyes. It is estimated that by 2015, the Carteret Islands will disappear under the sea. Already, the beaches are littered with fallen trees, their roots eroded by the tide. Rising sea levels have made it impossible for the islanders to grow anything apart from coconuts. They are now dependent on aid from PNG. Our houses are getting closer and closer to the sea’’,, complains one woman. Maybe one day, a tidal wave will sweep everyone away. The government plans to relocate people but many islanders refuse to move. As one states, ''If the island is lost, I'm lost too.''

Thanks to Fiji, Australia, and New Zealand. May good bless you all
I wish evil places would overflow, and you could keep your peaceful island.
Thank u
no i hope it all drown
See how dumb you are?
Obama Fever dumb fuck
Just before this video I didn't care the islands are sinking but now I have a reason to really worry about my brothers and sisters. Please God help them.
Black is beautiful,strong and smart.
That is a wrong generalisation.
@Alexander Harris coz thats simply wrong. It is plainly generalising. You can say black, white, asian people are all beautiful, smart and strong but thats your opinion. Most people doesnt even think like that and probably you dont think like that too but instead you are just playing yourself foolish just to present as a dumb kind. Be straight and honest!
@@angelo.2559 ur a racist. Black is beautiful. Nobody’s saying that only black people are beautiful. Every race is beautiful and ur being a jerk
How is that statement applicable to what is happening to these people? Whether it is true, false or a generalization, these islanders are losing everything.
We Melanesian live by Faith only our God knows us regardless of all obstacles we go through.
We Melanesians live by faith. Never fear of man but fear of God.
malick TJ Matiabeyuwi Amen blessings to you beautiful Melanesian people
Thank you, Journeyman Pictures, for even just shining a light on these people, even if it is the only thing we have left of them....
This documentary is clearly fake. How the Americans do documentary is always not on the truth. These people are living simply, they do not need any assistance specially from America to mess up their lives!
How beautiful is that island the views are heaven sent and the people appear very gentle.
Yes because, other countries havent tried to control them.
Surprise to note, the Islanders speak well English and Educated.
Even this video is barely known to civilisation. Such unlucky people.
Sadly, whether it's manmade, natural or a combination thereof, we all have to make adjustments, even move if we're coastal or island based. Others face the opposite, decreasing or disappearing water.
Come to Aotearoa. Haere Mai!
Beautiful islands with serene beaches all around. nice....
Nope, it ISN'T! Here's why;
Naturally there would be thick mangroves along the edges of most of these islands, and the humans destroying them to clear beaches and get firewood, is EXACTLY what is causing the erosion of the island (atolls are made from sand washed up over corals, bound together with mangroves. no mangroves, no cohesion, massive erosion.
Very simple.
They are literally destroying their own habitat and using the UN agenda 21 garbage to blame the west under their massive accumulation of pure pseudo-scientific non-evidence.
6:02 my mans head fused with a birds nest lol
These are a good people!
Good people... Destroying their own ecosystem and blaming it on remote westerners that gets coerced into paying the carbon tax extortion racket.
'The road to hell is paved with good intention'
Go to another island the Pacific is ur home
aduhhh apik e...
Hate to burst your bubble but its actually caused by Dubais greed of white sand dredging for their artificial islands is causing massive underwater sinkholes, which in turn is collapsing bases of small islands.
I also think the hundreds of thousands of volcanoes 🌋 underneath the ocean is a sleeper reason as to why the oceans are rising. The more magma gets pushed up from the earths crust, the higher the waters on the surface gets
Why are these beautiful black peop are suffering, please God 🙏 help them. I think the Caribbean islands should help.
I've understood since I was a kid in 2002 that people were saying islands were sinking into the ocean. When I didn't hear anything else about it for years, I would not have guessed where this turned out after all to be true, or that it was already this bad back in 2007. I am so late to the party. According to whomever has posted Wikipedia's article about the Carterets Islands, they wrote like the islands are still there even as late as 2022, twenty years after I first heard mention of this phenomenon, so without further inquiry, I can't imagine what to expect now.
What do you mean no one can explain it? The sea hasn't risen 1 millimetre anywhere. If it rises in one place it is impossible not to rise everywhere. These islands sit on the edge of the Pacific Plate and the Indo- Australian Plate.The Indo - Australian Plate is pulling the Pacific Plate down into the subduction zone and no amount of money can and will never ever stop this the most powerful force in mother nature! It has nothing to do with the outside world, nothing to do with the weather, Sorry! For people to think that we can control the weather is a complete joke, mabey in 500 years or so as we reach a much higher level of civilisation we can think of controlling the weather, but definitely not now!!!
It's what I thought. If sea level rising, it would be everywhere. Some parts of the world the land is sinking and in others its rising. They just happen to be in a sinking part.
The southern oceans are rising as the earth cools. It is known that Antarctica has been building up ice for decades. The major effect on ocean level is the gravitational pull from the north and south polar ice. As the ice builds up on Antarctica the southern oceans rise. This overwhelms the effects of the northern polar regions. 2020
Science has shown that these islands rose from the earth due to volcanic activity, as the volcanic activity subsides, there is cooling, and shrinkage, causing the islands to effectively sink.
The solution would be to do as the dutch did, and build a sea wall and raise the ground level, reclaim what has been taken. Now that is where the money should be spent, but in reality money will be spent hiring experts who will watch them become extinct, but that extinction will be well documented, and recorded.
the problem is they didn't have money XD
Sad
This was like a decade ago. Is the island still there?
Yes of course...the island is still there.
Has there been a follow up show about this, they said all over by 2015 , is it now under water?
how are these islands and inhabitants now in 2017?
We all drowned
Fudge!
2020. How are they now
Still the same
Caterets aren't "a dot." It's an atoll.
Coastal erosion. I'm pretty sure SAND islands have been eroding for millions of years.
How is the situation today? There are still people living there?
People want to be God nobody can say that remember only God knows
To me this looks like normal coastal erosion. It's has been happening all over the world for centuries. Ever so slowly, a moving water will transport soil and sand away. Once you sicken or kill the surrounding coral reefs off the island, due to water temperature rise, pollution or otherwise, you'll end up with this effect. The ocean will come and erode away all of the island.
The warmer it is the faster the coral grows
The Island is has a high risk of Natural disaster. leave to a better place is possible. People of pacific island will always welcome in New Zealand and Australia....
PLEASE MOVE TO FIJI ISLAND
Share this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God will fix it in his time
So what is it sinking or sea rising?
Both...
Sigh... they feel forgotten but in reality they are mocked, hated and despised by hateful internet trolls...
Wounded Ego God is watching the trolls and Karma
what are earthquakes
Sounds like permafrost.
Condolences to these people. They're the victims of a world gone insane. The 1983 movie "Koyaanisqatsi - Life Out of Balance":

Is it under water in 2023?
Lol they are not sinking they are growing.
U're wrong friend !. The island's sinking...very clear...caused by global warming.
@@tutupsalinghujat4978 So if you are saying its shrinking because of Global warming, will you be brave enough to follow your own logic and say Global warming is not real if you are wrong and they are actually growing?

Time to move or die.
Move
All land on the planet is sinking.
I thing these people are kemet ancient Egyptian decendant
Paradise lost.
sad
the islands are sinking
So is Miami.
As with most climate cult claims, this hasn't aged well. Nearly all the Pacific island nations depicted in this hysterical video have grown. Turns out the claims were wrong and the hysteria they're causing is humanity's greatest threat.
then china will make flotting island
This is what NZ looked like. Before colonization.
Bo it didnt. What you on about! These guys do not look like native NZ people.
More like what Fiji looked like before micronesians and polynesians came in
And Maluku and Timor
THESE ARE ISRAELITES FROM THE TRIBE OF NAPHTALI!!!!! Shalom yada yisrael
You dumb ass they been occupied in that land for 60,000 years. They are the decendents of the first out of Africa migration.
Tay Hereford They are not Africans!!!! The OOA is just a theory its not TRUE history!

"They know this is unstoppable."? Who wrote this script? The narrator said they don't have electricity, TV, internet, but they know everything about science. They're geniuses concerning global warming. That's ridiculous. They don't know anything about global warming. Somebody else told them what to say, they don't know anything about science or pollution, they don't know anything about anything. This narrator contradicts himself repeatedly. These people only know how to grow coconuts. Ask them about banking, aviation, space exploration, or even combustion engines, or how about ships, and scuba diving, hydroponic dams, electricity, medicine, math, etc. Do they even know that there are places called continents that are completely safe from sinking into the ocean? They probably think outsiders come from outer space. They only know what outsiders tell them. They don't know anything about anything. The politicians of the U.S. and England have told them what to say for this video. How do the people interviewed who barely speak any English and yet cited that flawless sentence? Don't show this garbage. It makes a great documentary on the beauty of islands, and the backwardness and ridiculousness of people who don't want to be advanced in any way and just want to be animals. Show them some documentaries with animals eating animals and then show them a documentary of humans driving cars, flying jets, traveling the world, eating glorious cuisines and living life to the fullest. They'll certainly choose that over being eating by animals, insects, and the ocean. They are forced into remaining this way by outsiders who prevent schools, hospitals, medicine into these areas. They're not being protected, see for yourself, you're starving and drowning them! And now you'll blame global warming. You greedy politicians! God will blame you for their deaths! The island chairman shown in this video who gave the journalist the tour is pretty selfish to not use that boat to get everybody off those islands and into a nicer lifestyle somewhere they can get jobs, homes, an education, medicine, and a life worth living. The woman discussed on this documentary has 7 children who she says are living on just coconuts once the rice runs out, show some mercy! Thank heavens the Minister told them the truth (but of course he's probably getting a pretty penny from the purchasers of the islands once all the natives are scared off by "global warming" this "impending doom"). And says the majority are willing to move. That's good news. I'm excited for their new life. But lets not teach them that it's global warming. Because next year the oceans might go down. Scientists don't know. They only know what they see. They don't know anything. Next year some politicians will build a resort there and profit for the next 50 years. That's probably what this is all about. It's just a scare tactic to get mining, coconuts, free islands, and also use this video to convince the rest of the world that global warming is real, while they can't explain why the Antarctica is growing, ice is everywhere. Probably if Antarctica becomes tropical, that means Canada will become Antarctica. The scientists don't know and won't be able to warn Canada until they're frozen solid like the Elephants at the top of the mountains all over the American continents.
They know their habitat.
A terribly judgemental and arrogant opinion piece, obviously spoken out of complete ignorance.
Facts
Who the fuck bothers to write such a long comment lmao
Absolutely right Ben, these other commenters are fucking imbeciles.
HELP US
This dew is a lying! I stop a 1:41! The real truth is we are growing and living! The Islands are forever! Yah and his people is forever! Solomon Islands is so beautiful! Well all our Islands is beautiful! Ancient Australia is Ancient America
Cee Game facts
