This is the only way any living Maldivian will be affected by ocean water.
They can see the gravy train is gathering speed and want to get on it while the hype is still fresh.

When Maldives are under water I'm gonna laugh. Decades as the depository of choice for cash earned through criminal enterprise. Drowning couldn't happen to a more deserving nation.

So all the people who live there deserve to lose everything?
You're no longer on my Christmas card list!

Now the bad news for you, good for Maldivians, you won't live long enough to be able to laugh as the Maldives disappear under the waves, if they ever do.

"You're no longer on my Christmas card list!"

I'm crushed. No, wait, just bruised. Actually, noooo, just kinda brushed by a moist brown vapor. No, actually, I guess I'm just dandy with not being on your faves list.

"Now the bad news for you, good for Maldivians, you won't live long enough to be able to laugh as the Maldives disappear under the waves, if they ever do."

Hahahahahahaaaaaaa. Whot, the Maldives gonna go toe to toe with Strategic Air Command? Or maybe YOU'RE gonna do it on their behalf. Bring it, dood. Wheeee! LOL!

I see you have reading difficulties, so let me make it clearer for you.
If you plan on living for another 90 years, you may or may not hear news of sea level rise affecting the Maldives.
As it's highly unlikely you'll live that long, you probably won't.

NB: Now you can tell, "Strategic Air Command" to stand down and you can relax.

"I see you have reading difficulties"

Don't try to blame your inability to post a coherent remark on me, stoopid.

Hmm. Maldives **highest** elevation is 2.4meters. Translated from English into Dumbass (so you can figure it out), thats about 7 feet 9 inches.

If the Maldives isn't half gone by the time I retire I'll be surprised.

If they disappear it would be for their own lack of planning. Currently over half of the population of the Netherlands lives below sea level.

And where did the Dutch find their money?

Maldives people were never a colonial power fyi. You are heartless to ignore that you are the cause of their problem.

Perhaps the Romans gave it to them, but somehow I think it was just hard work and planning on their part. Where do you think they got the money 2000 years ago when they started building dikes?

The person from Tucson with reading difficulties, actually believes the propaganda about future sea level rise acceleration, so it's reasonable to expect that person would also believe the Maldives will disappear before that his/her retirement.
This makes me wonder how old that person is and if he/she ever plans to retire.
LOL

NB: I suggest they google, Nils Alex Mörner for the observed science.

"The person from Tucson who's smarter than the chinky-dink rat-man spawn of some confused pagan deity in Spain.."

..knows that sea level rises always accompany warming. How much and how fast rather substantially depends on what happens in Greenland. Given that Arctic pack ice thickness has gone from 30 feet to 15 in less than half a century, I think the odds are pretty good that something interesting will happen with the Greenland Ice sheet.

Nils Alex Morner: Dowsing Enthusiast. Heh!

Thing is, I get real kick out of the denialists for so many reasons it's beyond count. First, bring it: climate change will screw most of the rest of the world far more than the United States, so I don't particularly fear it, even though I know the science recognizing its occurrence is solid. Second, my contingency plans are in place anyhow. Sea level change of 2 meters or ten meters really won't make a problem for me. It'll probably bring more rain to Arizona. And thinking of my childhood home in the far north, I sort of look forward to winters that don't last for 5 months of the year. Finally, I'm really looking forward to telling some starving GW denialist that he's gonna drop dead before I'm going to come to his aid.

If I'm wrong, all I'll have to show for my planning is a rather large estate, a small fortune, and a legacy of wealth and prosperity to pass on to my heirs.

Not at all heartless. I get a big hearty chuckle when misfortune befalls the corrupt. I am, perhaps, the worst sort of American you international circle-jerk types can imagine. I know global warming is happening and I'd rather let the pack of the rest of you slide down into oblivion than accede to your demands that the USA shoot itself in the foot in the name of making the rest of you lazy sots feel better about what you're doing to the earth. Heh!

President Obama's Nobel Prize Victory is the best thing that ever happened during the Obama age.

Hale, now his voice itself will drive back the warming. No need for expensive carbon reductions. Obama no longer needs the Weirding module.

The not so, "smart" person in Tucson, who hasn't yet managed to grasp the fact that I'm probably not Spanish, thinks the odds are pretty good that something interesting will happen with the Greenland Ice sheet.
So not too smart at all, because everyone knows, "something interesting will happen with the Greenland Ice sheet," even if nothing much happens to it.

He then writes off all Mörner's scientific achievements because he thinks that anyone who believes in dowsing must be a crank.
Mörner was the former head of the Paleogeophysics and Geodynamics department at Stockholm University until he retired, but of course, the smart person from Tucson knows better.

Smart from Tucson then goes on to state that he believes the USA will fare better than the rest of the world and claims he isn't bothered what happens anyway, because he has, "contingency plans" in place.

Fat Al has contingency plans too, he recently bought a $2 million condo (with some of your money) on a lot in Frisco, which he claims is threatened by future floodwater.

Remember all the AGW CRAP about the Maldives being swamped by rising sea levels?

Well, that is just what it is...a bunch of CRAP!

CBC - Global Warming Doomsday Called Off
http://video.google.com/videoplay...

Go to the segment 26:38 to 34:37 in the Video...it's all about the Maldives.

Now, that's something you can see, right before your eyes!

How to spot a AGW'er.

1. Wears diving flippers...just in case.
2. Wears Sun-glasses, not because of the SUN...looking for the Ozone Hole.
3. Wears a baseball cap with a plastic propeller on top to promote "wind power".
4. Points at people exhaling and follows the CO2 released with their finger.
5. Carries a bag to exhale and fart in.
6. Pees on SUV tires.
7. Has a large tatoo of Al Gore on their back.
8. Keeps a Panda Bear costume and a copy of An Inconvienent Truth in a back-pack for impromtu demonstrations.
9. Throws lumps of Coal at Power Lines.
10. Stops people in the street to tell them "Ice is Melting"...in July.
