The people of the Marshall Islands are at the forefront of receiving the effects of climate change. About 80 people live on the small island of Ebadon, 75 miles of navigation from the capital of the atoll of Kwajalein. There are no cars and the life of the small community revolves around fishing. A group of American scientists and engineers goes to Ebadon to build a laboratory in a few days that will study the effects of climate change on this island.
