I am happy for the reporter, must be a fun day when she heard she got assigned to Maldives. Assignment editor : you got assigned to make a story about Maldives 👧: Yes.

*AFP 1988:* “rise in average sea level is threatening to completely cover this Indian Ocean nation of 1196 small islands within the next 30 years”. Didn't happen. Wake up, people.

sweetie the Maldives aren’t in the South Pacific it’s in a whole other ocean the INDIAN Ocean, do better 😚

That’ll leave 20% for the 1% to visit….

So, in other words we have gone from "fighting" or turning the tide of the effects of climate change, to adapting to it. Too bad the Maldives isn't considering constructing their man made Islands into several giant middle fingers in the direction of those wealthiests nations who renegade on their promise to offer some assistance to them back in 2009.

The water level has not risen AT ALL in the Maldives. It was supposed to have been under water ten years ago. The ocean is not rising. Around the world, the only registered rises are the result of local subsidence, not global ocean rise. Climates change. That is normal. Climate change is not a bad thing.

Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy? One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind. I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist. So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark. In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all. The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise. Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct. Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.

What's sad is this comment section has people that assume just because we are a small fragment of the world population, we're better off forgotten. We're half a million people, but one people. Our ancestors have fought battles with Portuguese, the Dutch and south Indians for our people. We have our own language, scripture, and culture derived from African, Indian, SriLankan, East Asian and Middle Eastern roots. We have artists, businesses, entrepreneurs, scientists and skilled labour just like any other country. We are not big enough for your maps. But we are a people. I may be over 50 by 2050, but my children or grandchildren will not. They will need a place to call home, to speak their Dhivehi language and to express their Maldivian culture and freedom rather than adapting to the discrimination and racism from another country which the past two decades have taught the world. So. Since a big part of the world couldn't care less... "How willing are you to accept us as climate refugees"? Oh well I guess We'll adapt and evolve. Maybe we'll become the first merpeople because obviously evolution happens within 3 decades. 🤦‍♂️ *Sarcasm intended* 😑❤️🇲🇻

They said something similar 34 years ago too. Predicted to be under water by now and abandoned. instead, the population has doubled and banks are lending to build sea front resorts. Go figure ! QUOTE Then-Environmental Affairs Director Hussein Shihab told AFP “an estimated rise of 20 to 30 centimetres in the next 20 to 40 years could be ‘catastrophic’ for most of the islands, which were no more than a metre above sea level.” The article went on to suggest the Maldives, along with its 200,000 inhabitants, could “end” sooner than expected if drinking water supplies dry up by 1992 “as predicted.” Today, more than 417,000 people live in the Maldives.

Warmer temps are killing coral in Maldives which act as a natural barrier, allowing for more severe wave action and tidal changes causing more erosion and flooding. Think of it as the beginning of worse things to come. Canary in the coal mine. The changes will be slow, and then all of a sudden for Florida. Especially as the ice caps melt.

That’s very sad. I would say that global warming have a lot to do with America, Canada, China, And India etc. Due to how much plastic, and fossil fuels we use daily is insane. I can say that America isn’t really doing a lot about climate change honestly. Yeah we have Tesla but only wealthy people can afford to use cars with cleaner emissions. What’s crazy is that we been seeing this for about 20-30 years.
