Asked what would happen if Copenhagen fails, the president said, "we are all going to diemove," according to the site.

fixed.

Sources say the cabinet meeting's atmosphere was bubbly with the prospect of deep-6ing global warming. The depths of discussion were not known immediately, as a tide of secrecy flowed over..

Shouldn't they have signed it on land projected not to be flooded by climate change? I doubt that they will live underwater, more than likely they will move to dry land.

"Maldives understands what New Orleans has yet to fathom"

/my headline... oh well

you mean the ignorant american media? roger that

What the fark is a Maldives?

And at the same time they are getting and seeking billions in resort development dollars and Euros. Maybe they should be looking for billions to move somewhere higher.

Should be more concerned that the place sinks under the weight of all their bullshiat.

Damn you.

How could you cross inet? That's not even close.

Sounds like a bad place to go diving.

Cabient is a fruity french wine with a soupçon of Lebanian Cedars. Well paired with red meats and nuts.

Maldives is where they pulled this lame stunt. Cabient is my fat-fingered submitting fail.

/submitter

stupid island nation, worried about global warming... what a bunch of morons

Fact: most land is 4-5 ft above sea level

Worst-case, emo-induced prediction: a 7 INCH rise in sea level in 100 years.

Somebody is AW'ing in the Maldives

President Maldives is closely allied with President Madagascar.

I think this is kind of cool, actually.

If the sea starts to rise just have all the Chinese hold their pee for a day.

Isn't the planet cooling right now, so an increase in snowfall should actually LOWER ocean levels?

Wait, which global climate theory is fashionable today again ?

Odd that we can still see the last century's high water marks around the world without scuba gear.

Of course, what no one has mentioned is that after all the hysteria there is still the fact that sea levels haven't risen 1 cm.

/hot as hopefully the planet doesnt get.

I see your statistic and raise another:

So, what your telling me is that Terryg999 is correct, they haven't risen 1cm.

luvnuriko: Sounds like a bad place to go diving.

It's actually a very good place to go diving.

Assuming you like warm, clear water.

Which I don't.

Over the last century, sea levels have risen about 20 centimetres (8 in); further rises of the ocean could threaten the existence of Maldives, being the lowest country in the world, with a maximum natural ground level of only 2.3 m (7½ ft) with the average being only 1.5 m above sea level. Current estimates place sea level rise at 59 cm by the year 2100.

Yeah, it's clearly just a publicity stunt from someone who's just an attention whore and not at all worried about his country going underwater.

To be honest I dont see where the fail is with this one. Yes it's a stunt, but its a stunt that's worked, you're reading this after all and it's cropping up on major news sites and networks.

Any significant sea level rise will wipe out the atols of the Maldives, it averages only 1.5M above sea level after all. It doesnt have to be a complete inudation of water either, it only has to rise up enough to get into what ground water there is and then they're farked.

100 years = 20cm
1.5m = 150 cm

15 / 2 = 7.5

so in 750 years, THEY ARE farkED!

it's part of a long attempt at extortion.

BTW, The Maldives does not have s source of ground water now. So, according to you, they are already farked.

so in 750 years, THEY ARE farkED!farking christ, do you not understand the concept of an average? Or exponential growth? Did you just not see the very next line that predicts a 59 cm rise in the next century? What percentage of the country do you think that's going to put underwater?

What is it about global warming that turns people into blithering idiots?

In their defense, they were blithering idiots before they started screaming about man made global warming. In fact, only blithering idiots would fall for it.

Approves.

Any HK farkers get this one?

1) Tides, storms etc. (The tidal range is around 1m apparently (new window)). You dont have to cover the place just raise the water high enough that a good storm will scour it off the map.
2) Your assuming that the rise in sea level is constant.

What is it about the debate that automatically leads to insults, and not a rational discussion? I have a THEORY on this, but I don't want to commit just yet.

How expensive would it be to construct a wall one foot high all around the islands??

I thought I heard something about the polar ice caps actually growing in size, our warmest year being 1998, and that it seems temps may go down over the next 30 years or so (based on Pacific Ocean warming/cooling cycles and the sun putting out less energy). Seems that ocean levels may actually drop here for a bit, no?

There is no money to be had by anybody with your line of thinking. The green weenies will never get us all living in tents and walking every where with your notions.

That aside, yes, you are pretty much right on the mark.
