    How Would You Save The Maldives? (The 7 Choices)
    The Maldives, 2119 - in the Indian Ocean. Children play on the streets, as worshipers enter the city mosque for their morning prayer. Fresh fruit & vegetable stands line the alleyways, as nearby fishermen with their buckets of entrails gut their morning catch on the sidewalk. This is the city of Malé, the capital of the Maldives, and in 2119 (aside from some advanced architecture) it appears life in the Maldives isn’t so different from a hundred years earlier.
    But the closer you look, the more you may miss, because you should in fact be looking from afar - far back enough to see that the nation of islands, formerly known as the Maldives, has actually long been evacuated. In place, a nation of oil rigs - because this is the NEW Maldives...

      I'm from Maldives. I've lived here all my life and its scary to think that everything I've ever known will be under water in a relatively short time. It all sounds like some sort of sci-fi movie. But it's not, its real, its a very real future that me and future generations of Maldivians will have to deal with. Over the realitively short period of time I've been alive I can see the effects of climate change already. The ocean is coming.
      Anyway, I found the video real interesting, waiting for part 2 :v

    I'm a maldivian, just saying that this information might be outdated, but I could be wrong. Yeah ignore my name, its fake. Like everything on the Internet.
    Essentially the point about getting the tether funding by renting islands for long periods of time, was known as the SEZ (Special Economic Zone if I'm not mistaken) bill which was heavily criticised by the people as it gave near sovereign authority similar to embassies, and not merely the rights of private property ownership. And then we heard about that leasing the island to a saudi prince for 99 years deal. Naturally this irked locals as it felt our government was selling our land. Our people are, unfortunately at least Gen Z and older are not as educated at least on current world issues. They are not savages or anything, simply that there is a lack of awareness about how global warming is a threat to us despite Nasheed's best efforts during his regime. They are more of a minding their own everyday lives kind of people. It probably didn't help that the president at the time, the one after Nasheed and the coup vice Waheed, President Yameen elected in 2013, is known for money laundering and corruption. There's even an Al Jazeera report on it, can't recall the name at the time. So naturally they felt it was to line their own pockets, and before this video, I thought the same. I still have doubts about Yameen committing any acts of altruism but perhaps, who knows. I suppose it might not even be altruism. Single-handedly masterminding a plan to save the nation would have all of his shady deeds erased and raised to near saint status.
    I digress. Long story short, said Yameen, the man negotitating that deal, lost in the September 2018 elections, to Solih, who is a member of Nasheed's party, and I would say a loyalist. Earlier this month, they have also as a single party, obtained supermajority in the Parliament with around 67 out of 82 overall members. Yameen is being investigated on counts of corruption and money laundering, and the current government has promised to undo many of the legislation and investigate Yameens actions in power. So I suppose it's back to Nasheed's solution now, and while back in 2008 he was being held back by the opposition controlling the Parliament. But that's not the situation anymore. The opposition has essentially been eradicated simply because of how tyrannical yameen was. Nasheed's party has essentially annexed up the key political figures of a lot of the parties before. He can set up a dictatorship if he wants at this point. I would say he is a good individual, but I also don't agree that so much power should be at the hands of one party. The opposition exists to keep things in check. There's no accountability if we trust them to regulate themselves.

    The Maldives is such a beautiful country I want to go there for my 15th birthday instead of celebrating a prom that costs around the same as the flight+the hotel, it's really a shame to hear that it's going to dissappear soon

    Hey, I actually thought about this and came up with an idea. They can build skyscrapers in Malé and decades later when the water rises, the lower floors of the buildings will be submerged, and the city will become something like Venice, where you navigate through tiny canals and boats instead of road and cars. The ruins underwater can be made a tourism resource.

    I'm a scuba diver and I dived a certain shipwreck a couple months ago. There was coral, coral everywhere. It was beautiful. This weekend I was there again, and it was all dead. White, dead, hard coral covering the wreck. Everywhere. It was pretty damn sad being there.
    Another idea: Imagine a thousand years into the future when the water recedes from coastal cities that have been underwater for centuries, and massive ruins emerge from the ocean.

    Now, this is EXACTLY the right way :)
    Humanity need to change it's perspective from cutting the emissions to creating new ways for life. Heatdeaths in the USA dropped during 20th century, even though population migrated more to the south.
    Warmer temperature -> more deaths? NO.
    Innovating AC-systems -> less deaths!
