As
the threat to the existence of The Maldives and other low-lying nations grows by
the day,
President Mohamed Nasheed’s submerged cabinet meeting has become a mere
beginning to a global campaign to stave off an humanitarian disaster. It has
become clear even to the most staunch skeptics of global warming that the head
of state of The Maldives is determined not to be flooded out of office. Good for
him!
Speaking at the Climate Vulnerable Forum last month, Nasheed issued a call for all nations threatened by rising seas to join him in a survival pact through a carbon neutral future. The good people at 350.org are assisting and I cannot think of a better message as we close out one of the most chaotic years of weather on record.
Given the growing risk to many nations from rising seas, I invite you to visit the special page on 350.org to add your name as a demonstration of support for the survival pact. The URL is
