Now You See It, Now You Don’t
I think we all expect to lose a little beachfront and maybe an ice cap or two from climate change. Who would think we can lose a whole country? It might happen in Maldives. The chain of islands (country) is only a few feet above sea level. NPR “Morning Edition” did a feature on it this morning (1/28/08). They say some people have already been moved to other Islands.
During the big Tsunami, there was an instant when the whole country was submerged. Concrete sea walls have been built in some places. They are ugly. Tourism is a major industry in Maldive. Ugly does not draw tourists. In one case they have built an artificial island. This one is a little higher and drier; so it doesn’t need a sea wall.
I found an Island you can buy for only 5,500,000. It is being developed into a resort. Access will be by boat with luxury cabins. The boats will moor in the harbor and serve as a floating hotel. I guess that is fine as long as the beach is above water. Perhaps the boat can just move to another island. Anyone want to put 5,500,000 on the ocean floor?

Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people
think about worries that they just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
