I would say the situation is very scary now, … ,
even recently, one of the islands by (our) main island capital just disappeared.

It will be very sad if Tuvalu actually disappears. So we only hope that everybody makes an effort to reverse global warming — that is our only hope.

It’s just a matter of time for us to be able to prove if there is a strong case, and then definitely we will do something about that.

Like the saying goes, there is no better place than home — and of course, Tuvalu is our home. We don’t want it to disappear.
