Marshall Islands Disappearing

Yesterday I read a very interesting article regarding the island nation of the Marshall Islands and the fact that it is disappearing.  The ocean is rising and covering the land.  Why this is so near and dear to me is that I spent 6 1/2 years of my life on one of the atoll within the Republic of the Marshall Islands.  Some of the best memories in my life are from the time I spent on Kwajalein and the Marshall people are some of the most nicest people one can meet and befriend.  I am concerned about their economy which was never great to begin with and it is my hope, that the United Nations will help this small nation of islands and it's people.
