Off the US coast, Tangier Island disappearing under the water
- 7 years ago
US President Donald Trump is pulling America out of the Paris Climate Agreement, a decision that will impact people across the planet but also just over 100 miles away on Tangier Island in Virginia. Now measuring 1.2 square miles, Tangier has lost two-thirds of its landmass since 1850. If erosion and rising waters continue at their current pace, it may disappear completely in the next 40 years.
