It’s
every man, woman and child for themselves in fascist, neo-liberal New

Tuvalu
looking at buying NZ and Aust land for displaced
The
leader of Tuvalu says his country is having to consider buying land
in New Zealand and Australia to grow food and prepare the population
to migrate as the seas slowly claim the islands.

Tuvalu
and Kiribati both say upcoming climate talks in Paris are vital as
rising sea levels threaten their existence.
Fourteen
Pacific Island nations have been meeting in Jaipur in India to
discuss rising sea levels.
Enele
Sopoaga says failure is not an option.
He
says the nation may be able to purchase land in other places, such as
New Zealand and Australia if necessary.
However
he says that won't stop climate change and its impact on Tuvalu,
whose nine coral atolls are home to about 11,000 people.
