It is a great concern that the small Islands in the Pacific, each with it’s own unique culture, will succumb to the effects of "Global warming". As the temperature of the sea rises the tiny algae that feed the coral are unable to survive causing the Islands to gradually disappear. Eventually the people of these Islands will be forced to leave and entire cultures will be lost. This song is a personal invitation to all those in positions of power to come and visit these Islands so they can see how beautiful they are and how happy the people are who live on them. I believe if they did just that, they would help prevent this disaster.
