Will God protect Tuvalu from death and destruction as climate change brings rising sea levels or is action also needed?

A Tuvalu activist and artist from Tuvalu now living ovwerseas tells this blog:

"From what I'm aware, a lot of homeland Tuvaluans DO believe that God will take care of their needs. However, in my opinion, I believe action still needs to be taken to get the word out.

Again, in my opinion, God helps those who help themselves."
