A fishing boat, with its powerful outboard motors, is launched into the Pacific Ocean from Majuro looking for wahoo fish. Its owner, known as 'Ace', when asked about the problem of sea-level rise simply answers that "Everything will disappear." Pressed about where people will go he says "Somewhere else, maybe America. We can do nothing."
