The Pacific nation of Kiribati is negotiating to buy land in Fiji so it can move islanders under threat from rising sea levels, in what could be the first climate-induced relocation of a country.

Anote Tong, the Kiribati President, said he was in talks with Fiji’s military government to buy up to 2000 hectares of freehold land on which his 113,000 countrymen could resettle.

[…]

”This is the last resort, there’s no way out of this one,” Mr Tong said. ”Our people will have to move as the tides have reached our homes and villages.”

It’s time to start seriously talking about climate change. It should have never gotten to this point.

This Is Important, You Should Know About It of the Day: Over the weekend, troubling allegations have emerged of many Iraqi teenagers being stoned to death for dressing in “emo fashion.”

Scores of teens wearing skinny pants and graphic tees, and sporting a signature “emo style” haircuthave allegedly been clobbered with cinder blocks [warning: graphic images] by members of Iraq’s “moral police.”

Though the number might be lower — Reuters put the death tollat 14— the terrifying trend appears to have at least a measure of consent from Iraq’s Interior Ministry, which suggests it could get much worse.

“[The Moral Police] have official approval to eliminate them as soon as possible, because the dimensions of the community began to take another course, and is now threatening danger,”read a statement from the ministry, which also compared “the Emo phenomenon” to “devil worshipping.”

When confronted with claims that it approved the slaying, an Interior Ministry spokesman said the statementwas being “misinterpreted.”

The anti-emo movement, meanwhile, isn’t waiting for clarification. Fliers being circulated in Shiite neighborhoods includelists of residents identified as emowho are warned to change their style and stop listening to metal, emo, and rap music or risk “God’s punishment” at the hands of the mujahedeen.

Moktada al-Sadr, infamous leader of the Shiite militia known as theMahdi Armydenied being behind the threats, but nevertheless agreed with the sentiment that emo teens were “unnatural.”

The spate of violence against teenagers joins a longer bullying campaign against members of Iraq’s LGBT community.Hundreds have reportedly been killedin the last six years, and many are currently being targeted by death squads who abduct suspected gay men and women from their homes and slay them.

Ali Hili, a London-based Iraqi gay rights activist, claims to have obtained a document from the Iraqi Interior Ministry which, much like the statement on emo teens, orders the “elimination of the so-called homosexuals.”According to Hili, the Mahdi Army and the influentialBadr Organisationare responsible for the violence, and they have the open support of the government in their actions.
