Independent: Pacific island nations under threat from rising seas have warned that climate talks in Paris represent the last chance to save them from obliteration. The warning came as a report castigated Australia and New Zealand for ignoring their small, impoverished neighbours calls for more robust action to cut carbon emissions. What we are talking about is survival, said Anote Tong, the President of Kiribati, a string of atolls barely 3ft (0.9m) above sea level. Its not about economic development......
