The lost island
Tangier Island is metaphor of the absurd. The small piece of land in the Chesapeake bay is sinking into the ocean, threatened by erosion and sea rise level.
Each year, the Atlantic ocean swallows more than four meter of land. Tangier is home to 460 souls, every single one of them is a climate change sceptic and a Trump lover. The beloved ocean who fed generations of crab fishermen has now become their biggest threat.
In the 2016 presidential election, Tangier granted the Republican's candidate 87 % of its votes, mostly because of Trump's sympathy to Israel. As Christians from the Evangelist church, Tangier's people support the Holy Land in many different ways but mostly financially.
If the amercian administration doesn't come up with a solution and dozen of million dollars, Tangier will disappear in the waters in 25 years and its inhabitants will be among the first americans climate refugees.
