2008年12月,在太平洋中部,接二连三的海浪伴随着这个季节最高水位的潮汐,吞没了马绍尔群岛共和国首都马朱罗的环礁。海浪淹没了公路与低洼地带的房屋,迫使当地进入紧急状态,让这个经济总量为1.61亿美元的国家遭受了超过150万美元的损失。这样的灾难并不是第一次降临,马朱罗建城以来就一直在与每十年一遇的特大潮汐灾害抗争。然而,随着全球碳排放有增无减,海平面上升与热带气候问题频发,越来越严重,潮汐灾害也与日俱增。如果是隔几年遭一次灾,马绍尔人还能承受,可要是每几个月一回,他们就不堪重负了,
In December 2008, in the central Pacific Ocean, successive waves were accompanied by tides of the highest water level of the season, engulfing the atoll of Majuro, the capital of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Sea waves flooded roads and low-lying houses, forcing the country into a state of emergency that cost the country, which has a total economy of 161 million U.S. dollars, more than 1.5 million U.S. dollars. Such a disaster did not come for the first time and Majuro has been fighting the catastrophic tidal disasters every ten years since its founding. However, as global carbon emissions continue unabated, rising sea levels and tropical climatic problems are more and more frequent and tidal disasters are also increasing. If it is a disaster every few years, the Marshallians can afford it. But once every few months, they will be overwhelmed.
