(For those of you who aren’t familiar with Emily Littella)
From Tom Nelson:
President Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik today said though Maldives faces the dangers of climate change, the country would not be submerged in the Indian Ocean.
Speaking to Sri Lankan businessmen this morning during his current visit to Sri Lanka, President stressed that Maldives can be sustained through efforts to avert the dangers of climate change.
“First of all, I want give you a bit of good news. The good news is that the Maldives is not about to disappear,” President Waheed said countering the claims by his predecessor that the Maldives would be be completely submerged in the near future.
He added that foreign investors were concerned with the talks of a submerged Maldives.
Told you so: Message to Maldives president Mohammed Nasheed: your claims are BS
Maybe this announcement has something to do with it. Note the Maldives shiny new half a billion dollar golf course:
Follow the money, find the lies. It was never about sea level, or climate refugees, or disappearing islands…it is all about wealth transfer. Whine loud enough to the U.N. that those other big meanie countries are making the sea rise, and they’ll toss money your way. Say it too much, and the investors stay away.
Liars, liars, liars all.

An now for some non-climate related new items. 😉
And so on……………
The problem is not rising sea levels (which has been going on for over 10,000 years now – currently flattening) but non-climate factors such as construction, water extraction and over fishing of beaked fish which assist is sediment growth.
Warmists, please read the following NON-PEER REVIEWED article, following on the heels of the IPCC’s use of non-peer reviewed mags. 😉

The propaganda has to stop.
Did I mention a new airport terminal.?
All that water to satisfy tourists has to be either shipped in or taken from the water lens or desalinated.

The entire Maldives scam is unraveling fast.
In a related ocean news – plankton are doomed to a terrible death under acid oceans of the 21st century – not. 😉

LazyTeenager,
“So you’re saying they are lying to these investors to get money? Which means they are telling the truth about sea level rise?
I’m am so confused.”
So you don’t find that the least bit interesting – that when they are looking for compensation from the West, the islands are doomed to sinking, yet when talking to nervous investors, the islands aren’t going to sink?
None of that registers on your BS meter?
A new president, eh? They must have had flea erections.
We urgently need huge stockpiles of Unobtainium to create hovering islands ASAP!

So the Maldives are more or less 5 feet above sea level. From a report on a British visit to the Maldives in 1835 where they stayed for a few months:
“…There are in the atoll where the Sultan resides, about fifty islands, none exceeding three miles in length, and one in breadth. In consequence of their lowness, not being in general more than five feet above the level of the sea,…”

Here’s a chance for all you sceptic investors to get in on the ground floor.
You will not have much competition. After Rio+20 most big businesses have quietly accepted climate change and are adapting their investment strategies accordingly.
Even Exxonmobil has changed direction.

And just why do you think that might be? Clue: the answer is very simple and has nothing to do with climate alarmism.

Profit.
Sooooo, how much “green house gas” tax (cap & trade monies sent to UN) have the Maldives received?
