In protest of the threat of global warming, the Maldives government has held a cabinet meeting underwater. We have recently been there and we can see why they want to save this stretch of 1,200 islands that are, what looks like, paradise on earth. Maldives’ highest elevation doesn’t exceed the 2 meter mark. So, if there would be a slight rise in sea water levels, that would mean a wipe-out from the islands for the natives.
Maldives has asked from the buffoon’s (George W Bush) help before in handling this pressing environmental issue to no avail. This new display is for the purpose of attracting media attention in getting the message across to world leaders. Also, a new climate change tax has been implemented on tourists.
