* Ellekan, an islet in Marshall Islands, has been reduced to a pile of sand in the middle of the reef. Those who loved it have already held its funeral.*

Many other low islands face inundation due to global heating, and their inhabitants will become climate refugees. Entire countries will be wiped out in this way.

The whole territory of the United States won't be inundated, only a small percentage. But it includes parts of big cities, so the inhabitants displaced will amount to millions. Likewise in China, India, and Europe.
