A sinking feeling
Article Abstract:
Tuvalu experienced some of the highest tides ever recorded, in January and February 2006, nearly 1.5 meters above mean sea level and this was caused, partly by the convergence of natural short-and-long-term tidal cycles, but was boosted, perhaps by the effects of global warming. Scientists and people within the government insist that Tuvalu must step up the implementation of 'no-regrets' policies, which include introducing salt-tolerant crops and dealing with the island's highly visible trash problem.
