Micronesia is a subregion of Oceania, comprising hundreds of small island in the Pacific Ocean. It is bounded on the northwest by the Philippines, on the east by Polynesia and to the west and south by Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Melanesia.
Politically, Micronesia is divided into eight nation-states and territories:
Guam
Kiribati
Marshall Islands
Federated States of Micronesia
Nauru
Northern Mariana Islands
Palau
Wake Island
Recently, leaders of Micronesian states have appealed for international help to avoid being wiped out by rising sea levels.
"We will all be drowning in our own backyards if leaders of developed nations do not take swift action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," Federated States of Micronesia President Emanuel Mori said.
Since the world is 'round' and all things are interconnected, I guess it is now time for all people of all races in the entire world to unite and do something about the climate change because if Mother Nature strikes back, we're doomed.
