ENTIRE HUMAN POPULATION DISPLACED

The ABC's The World Today reports on "the first case in the world of the formal displacement of an entire human population because of global warming":
More than 100 residents of Tegua Island had to abandon their settlement for higher ground after major flooding made their village uninhabitable.

But the UN Climate Conference in Montreal has heard that this could be just the beginning of a trend in the region, as Alison Caldwell reports.
It's not like they shouldn't have seen it coming; the trend was well established.
