More than 80 percent of Tuvalu’s population has applied for Australia’s landmark climate visa, official figures showed Wednesday, as rising seas threaten the low-lying Pacific nation. With only 280 spots available this year, thousands are expected to miss out.

Australia is the 5th largest natural gas exporter and 2nd largest coal exporter and therefore a significant impacter of climate change.

It, and all the other fossil fuel nations, should do significantly more than offer a small number of places for those impacted by climate change.
