You have to laugh.

The tiny Pacific island state of Tuvalu has said it wants all its energy to come
from renewable sources by 2020. Public Utilities Minister Kausea Natano said his
nation of 12,000 people wanted to set an example to others. Tuvalu is made
up of a string of atolls with the highest point only 4.5m (15 ft) above sea
level, making it extremely vulnerable to flooding. The government hopes to
use wind and solar power to generate electricity, instead of imported diesel.

Here’s a little perspective, the sort the BBC will NEVER provide!

“There is a suspicion though that the problem is not global, but local.
Fongafale, where the worst of the flooding is occurring, happens also to
have around 6,000 people living in an area little bigger than the average
city park. They have used the money made from selling their successful Dot
TV internet name to pave the roads, and Taiwan has built a large new three
storey administration building which towers over the islet. This might well
be having its own severe environmental impact. Human occupation has rendered
the once crucial freshwater lens too brackish to use. Inevitably one asks
whether people should be living on low-lying atolls at all. Around 10
kilometres across the lagoon, on the other side of Fongafale is unoccupied
Tepuka islet. As close as perfection as it seems possible to get to these
days, it shows no signs of sinking.”

Say it ain’t so!!
