Islands predicted to be covered by ocean aren’t

“In September 1988, the Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported a ‘gradual rise in average sea level is threatening to completely cover this Indian Ocean nation of 1196 small islands within the next 30 years,’ based on predictions made by government officials. …
“The Maldives are among the island nations often held up by United Nations officials as being on the ‘front-lines’ of man-made global warming. The island nation was among the first to apply for Green Climate Fund aid…”
But:” Five new airports will come into operation by the end of the year, Maldives government announced…

And: “The international airport is part of a joint Maldives-UAE project to develop Noonu atoll as an ultra-luxury tourism zone.


Perhaps those ultra-luxury tourism zones are for wealthy climate change people who want to watch the ocean cover their multi-million-dollar houses so they then can say, “We told you so.”

But, that cannot be, for Barrack Obama, running for president in 2008, said those who believed in him could tell their children and grandchildren of being there when he stopped the oceans from rising. Well, maybe he did, because the Maldives are still there.
