1.If you suddenly received a lot of money, how would you spend it? For the people of Tuvalu, a tiny state comprising nine islands in the South Pacific, something unusual happened.In 1999, Tuvalu, with its population of 11,000, was the third poorest state in the world.Later, Tuvalu received a domain name on the Internet — “.” A communication company from California quickly offered to buy the domain name for $40 million.The islanders became very rich.
2.At the same time, the islanders received some very bad news.Due to global warming, and because the islands are only 3m above sea level, Tuvalu will probably become the first state in the world to disappear under the sea.According to scientific estimates, the islands will suffer severe floods within the next 15 to 20 years, and by the end of the century, the islands will have disappeared from sight altogether.
3.You can already see signs of the rising sea on Tuvalu.Pools of seawater appear here and there, some beaches are swallowed by the waves, and the roots of trees are rotting by the ocean.The rain cause temporary floods.
4.But despite these problems, the Tuvaluans had their new money.Paul Lindsay, a documentary film-maker, went all the way to Tuvalu, and came back with an incredible story.As the water rises, the Tuvaluans are using the money to develop the land that is soon to disappear.They are building new houses, planning nightclubs, restaurants and hotels, and new cars are driving around on new roads.“Just because we are sinking, it doesn’t mean we don’t want to raise our standards of living.” Lindsay was told by Sam Teo, Tuvalu’s minister for natural resources.
5.Of the $40 million Tuvalu received through the Internet deal, $10 million was used to asphalt the islands’ 9km of roads.Before 1999 there were four cars on the islands.The Tuvaluans used to walk or cycle everywhere.There was a flood of imported foods and goods and soon these had unexpected consequences.The Tuvaluan people now suffer from diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes.Others discovered that it was too expensive for them to keep their cars.There is now a huge rubbish dump in the middle of this tropical paradise, covered with abandoned cars and other waste.
