skunkbear: You may have seen the exuberant celebrations of David Katoatau, an Olympic weightlifter competing in the 105-kg weight class for the island nation of Kiribati. NBC titled their video clip, “Weightlifting makes David Katoatau want to dance.” But there’s another, solemn reason for his joyful performance. Katoatau told Reuters he wants to raise global awareness of the climate change that threatens to destroy his country. Video: NBC, Map: Wikimedia -- source link
