Tangier Island, located in the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, is home to approximately 400 people, but will soon be underwater due to the rapid effects of erosion and rising sea levels caused by climate change.

1. "Erosion"

It must have been at least 20 years since I read a story about Tangier Island disappearing, and it appears that some residents are still in denial about the sea level rising.

9. I remember that dumb ass who was mayor at the time saying that climate change isn't real, ....

.... Jesus will protect the island, and how Trump had called him and promised something about
saving the island and that the science behind climate change was fake news.

2. The state of Florida is sinking into the ocean too.

But, people still continue to build and live by the sea.

3. And the mayor of Tangier is still wearing a Trump cap! Sheesh! nt

6. Yes, that explains his comment "Climate change? we'll deal with that later." what a moron.

Interesting also how everyone else understands it is climate change and the mayor, with his trump cap, blames it on erosion. Only he can fix it, I guess...

5. An island of Trump cultist - let it sink into the bay

I remember years ago they had a special about that island sinking, I was disgusted at their attitude toward climate change and mocking the entire science of global warming. Fools- let them move to higher ground.
