Sea No Evil

No No No!!
Don't they realize that if they build those hotels, the island is going to tip over?
See Senator Johnson's reasons here. It's Guam but the same concept.

Well they won't have to pay to build swimming pools. . . . Al Gore and Mikey Mann have guaranteed that rising ocean levels will make free swimming pools.

Us 'red neck' Westerners all have a rifle behind every door to shoot varmits when seen. I am sure that Maldivians will have life jackets to survive rising waters.

Wasn't it the Maldivians who wanted a international tax via the UN to pay for rising ocean water? It reminds me of the politicians who want a cut in oil revenue in the form of carbon taxes. T^urdeau Jr.anyone.

They're opening underwater airports as well.

here no evil!!

So Obama's ordered his broker to start buying up all the nicest property in the Falklands?

Well that proves the old expression "Money talks, Bullsh-- walks"

Wikipedia says that the Maldives are now largely Muslim, and the judges are
expected to take shariah into account in reaching their decisions. Furthermore,
the Maldives once were Buddhist, and there is a complex of large abandoned Buddhist
temples on the southernmost island.

Excuse me, there WAS a complex of abandoned Buddhist temples. They have all
been destroyed and reduced to rubble, now.

Now we can understand Barack Obama's interest in the Maldives.

Where is global warming when you need it?

It's not ocean rise that is causing the problem it's the added weight of millions of tourists that is sinking the islands. Wait till 30 new motels are built and watch the islands drop like stones into the ocean. :-)

I spent some time in the Western Pacific.

High Islands (extinct ??) volcanos.....

Low Islands coral atolls....

Sea level rise...atolls rise...sea level falls so do the atolls...self adjusting.....

Tsunami anyone?

30 hotels? Where is the fresh water coming from and where is the sewage going? Where is the extra electricity coming from and where is the garbage going? Not to mention the food for the guests and all the required infrastructure to support all of the above?

Pre-book the Penthouse suite now! With walk-out ocean access.

"At the big climate conferences – and supposedly also in Warsaw in two weeks – Nasheed meets regularly to milk cash compensation from climate-sinning countries on behalf of his country and other island nations"

Gee,that's a surprise. IF the Maldives DO sink under the ocean,so what? They have no importance, a tiny population,and the Muslim residents can be transferred to Palestine to be at home with their brethren.

Or we can build another suburb in Calgary for them.

Basement Condos in the Maldives: Bad idea.
Actually visiting this former island paradise and now muslim territory is an even worse idea. Waiting for the first Euro-tourist to be arrested for skinny dipping or Gasp! holding hands.

Maldives is a destination country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking and a source country for Maldivian children subjected to human trafficking within the country; Bangladeshi and Indian migrants working both legally and illegally in the construction and service sectors face conditions of forced labor, including fraudulent recruitment, confiscation of identity and travel documents, nonpayment of wages, and debt bondage; a small number of women from Sri Lanka, Thailand, India, China, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Eastern Europe, and former Soviet states are trafficked to Maldives for sexual exploitation; some Maldivian children are transported to the capital for forced domestic service, where they may also be sexually abused.
(from the CIA World Factbook)

But Nasheed will get 30 new resort hotels and billions in international aid.

Natural ice is 9% larger in volume than liquid water, isn't it more likely the oceans would recede than rise?

Investment portfolios of the wealthy being generally so diversified, it's quite within the realm of possibility that Al Gore and David Suzuki might have money tied up in these hotel ventures and not even know it.

I love it.

I've seen more impressive Maldives in West Edmonton...
