Too bad the Maldives isn't considering constructing their man made Islands into several giant middle fingers in the direction of those wealthiests nations who renegade on their promise to offer some assistance to them back in 2009.
I am happy for the reporter, must be a fun day when she heard she got assigned to Maldives. Assignment editor : you got assigned to make a story about Maldives 👧: Yes.
4:10 Incorrect!! All Western and developed nations are equally responsible, if not more, because they developed themselves with looted colonial blood money and now happily offshoring their manufacturing and other industries to cheap labour abroad in still developing nations.
Why you think all these billionaires are going to space. They know earth will be uninhabitable in the near future so they setting up shop somewhere else just in case.
Because if climate change killed off all the humans millions of other species would still exist. If a significant foreign body were to hit the Earth all life could be wiped off the surface including microbes and that would be the end of Earth's life story. Other planets need to be seeded. We can't sit here hoping we don't have a gamma burst for breakfast.
If you cared about these people you wouldn't advocating to make energy less affordable for them. The idea that you need to pass climate policy to change the path of nature in order to help an economically collapsing nation is complete insanity.
Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy? One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind. I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist. So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark. In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all. The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise. Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct. Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
i'm not confident in the immediate future of this planet. Last years pandemic is nothing compared to what is instore for us all. Hug your kids until then end!
The water level has not risen AT ALL in the Maldives. It was supposed to have been under water ten years ago. The ocean is not rising. Around the world, the only registered rises are the result of local subsidence, not global ocean rise. Climates change. That is normal. Climate change is not a bad thing. It is a natural thing, a dazzlingly complex expression of which we are an impossibly tiny variable.
Thanks to the US, China, EU, UK, India, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, all of those who got rich on fossil fuel, and industrialization now we are all doomed. Good luck everybody we are heading to next to Jupiter. This reminds me that movie Water World.

Science is changing everyday. The tech we have now is much better then back then. Unfortunately science can be bought. But theirs enough peer reviewed journals for us not to believe it’s a myth and this point
I ❤️ the Maldives! 🦎🦀🐡🐠🐟🐬🌴 I have spent wonderful vacation there several times. And it is very sad to see with your own eyes, how these beautiful islands are vanishing. The corals are dead and the water is rising. 😢 #SaveTheMaldives
Nonsense, they have GROWN in size. You're a liar. They just built a new airport fer crying out loud! Property porices are going way up because it's such a popular place mong the rich. ruclips.net/video/UYEY8J4zDyY/видео.html
What's sad is this comment section has people that assume just because we are a small fragment of the world population, we're better off forgotten. We're half a million people, but one people. Our ancestors have fought battles with Portuguese, the Dutch and south Indians for our people. We have our own language, scripture, and culture derived from African, Indian, SriLankan, East Asian and Middle Eastern roots. We have artists, businesses, entrepreneurs, scientists and skilled labour just like any other country. We are not big enough for your maps. But we are a people. I may be over 50 by 2050, but my children or grandchildren will not. They will need a place to call home, to speak their Dhivehi language and to express their Maldivian culture and freedom rather than adapting to the discrimination and racism from another country which the past two decades have taught the world. So. Since a big part of the world couldn't care less... "How willing are you to accept us as climate refugees"? Oh well I guess We'll adapt and evolve. Maybe we'll become the first merpeople because obviously evolution happens within 3 decades. 🤦♂️ *Sarcasm intended* 😑❤️🇲🇻
They said something similar 34 years ago too. Predicted to be under water by now and abandoned. instead, the population has doubled and banks are lending to build sea front resorts. Go figure ! QUOTE Then-Environmental Affairs Director Hussein Shihab told AFP “an estimated rise of 20 to 30 centimetres in the next 20 to 40 years could be ‘catastrophic’ for most of the islands, which were no more than a metre above sea level.” The article went on to suggest the Maldives, along with its 200,000 inhabitants, could “end” sooner than expected if drinking water supplies dry up by 1992 “as predicted.” Today, more than 417,000 people live in the Maldives.
Not if stop letting people in just like a night club years ago are population wasn't so high now it is and no tax exempt on foreign business owners it's bad enough we let them in
@@joshricci8459 dude you bringing up Trump is like me bringing up Robotech in this conversation both Trump and Robotech are completely irrelevant in this conversation
Interesting how these people always present possible threats that are so far away they really they could never be held accountable for any mistakes in their predictions and actions. Set the sights so far away that people can’t tell all you’re doing is grifting.
Can't they just dig to make the water go deeper, then take the stuff you dug out the ocean and put it on the edges of the islands to make them bigger? Granted everyone all around the world needs to do this to have any impact......
Land reclamation is constantly happening on a large scale already in the Maldives, but it won't be enough. And the costs associated with literally creating land is a huge burden for an island nation to bear
well they can do many things to prevent this if the government actually cared about it enough. they care about literally nothing other than tourism in this country.
That’s very sad. I would say that global warming have a lot to do with America, Canada, China, And India etc. Due to how much plastic, and fossil fuels we use daily is insane. I can say that America isn’t really doing a lot about climate change honestly. Yeah we have Tesla but only wealthy people can afford to use cars with cleaner emissions. What’s crazy is that we been seeing this for about 20-30 years.
@Major Problems and who demands the products these companies make? Honestly I'd feel relieved if we turned the power off and focused on cleaning things up, figure out if we can do anything about the farming situation. Agriculture is an emitter and we cannot live without food.
Why do people especially in the west make it seems like these tiny flat island surrounded by the sea with palm seems like heaven on earth? There's literally nothing there especially since the coral have mostly died off.
Edison generators and dynamos powered desalination is much cheaper to produce electricity and inexpensive water. They say the us government is standing in the way of Edison generators and dynamos to replace nuclear power and fossil fuels.
It could be sooner than 2050 as the Indian ocean floor continues to expand northward into indian subcont that could cause some giant earthquakes beneath the ocean floor to sink this tiny islands chain into water. Indian ocean is also a culprit of pacific rim violences that can shake the island nations like indonesia, Philippines, or japan... even to the Formosa island, as well as the pacific shorelined nations, all the way fo Chile.
I am an Aerospace Engineer so I have a pretty heavy hard science background, but I just don't understand this...there must be other variables at work. I say that because I grew up in Cocoa Beach, Fl. in the 60's and 70's and moved back three years ago and the same beaches I went to as a young boy and the same lagoon estuaries I hunted ducks in as a teen boy still look very much the same to me.
Warmer temps are killing coral in Maldives which act as a natural barrier, allowing for more severe wave action and tidal changes causing more erosion and flooding. Think of it as the beginning of worse things to come. Canary in the coal mine. The changes will be slow, and then all of a sudden for Florida. Especially as the ice caps melt.
I'm a believer in the new technology called living coastlines whi ch is currently being used along the southeastern coast. It works to rebuild the shoreline and it might work elsewhere. It should be used everywhere.
Another reason for population reduction and less of an emphasis on procreation in the extreme. I have empathy for these people and their endemic problems living on islands at sea level being chronically swamped over time. Who knows what the solution is? Other than what they happen to be doing already. Goes to show that energy production and conservation are a legitimate and affective concept for both developed and less developed nations.
@@MA-ph5ib we are coming out of an ice age. The water has been rising along. Look at all the under water citys lost to a rising sea bed. There are hundreds we know of. I'm not saying we all can't do our part but let's not get our panties in a bunch.
@@Voicenreason247 i don’t ~ but I also know evolution doesn’t cause the drastic change in temperature and emissions that earth has experienced and not to mentioned the gap in the ozone layer- that was all human made. If you are comparing the evolution that caused earth to be what it is you are forgetting the meteorite (or asteroid) that hit the earth ~ which caused the “evolution” you are mentioning. My point is ~ something as drastic as the meteorite (or asteroid) HAD to happened in other for the rest to follow.

It's not a lie, but just like you, they fail in their fact checking.

Why does it have to be a specific ocean? I mean overall the ocean is just one big ocean that's all connected not like land masses.

They're beautiful and some people don't like how you live. Mind your business for god sake.
@@damien1781 I have the right to my own opinions. Maybe you need to mind your damn business.
I pray for the people who live there
Is this a news report or a promotional travel ad?
So in order to fix it we’re going to build a huge city! 😂🤤
By 2050? Will Covid-19 still be around or how many shots will everyone have by then?
You know she’s at that hotel instead of slumming it
Fake news
There's a lot of things that COULD happen by 2050
and a lot that will not happen.
al gore said the same thing 15 years ago
Your high school degree is showing 😅
@@pamspencer5733 someday, if you wise up, you may get one too
Take all the liquid nitrogen in the world and make a new ice cap
Solution: install a 10 ft concrete wall around the whole island, embedded securely into the underlying coral.
It's the Indian Ocean not south pacific!!!
Edison generators and dynamos powered desalination is much cheaper to produce electricity and inexpensive water. They say the us government is standing in the way of Edison generators and dynamos to replace nuclear power and fossil fuels.
Maldives is in the Indian ocean ABC. NOT South Pacific.
Did she just say "South Pacific" ??? ) 0:01
This lady knows her stuff, kudos god bless
I see massive dredging happening at Maldives..lots of hi-rise buildings under construction.
America, India, and China need to start doing some major policy reforms if this is going to meet Paris 2015 targets.
Tuvalu is getting bigger and so are Maldives. The sea level rise is a hoax.
It could be sooner than 2050 as the Indian ocean floor continues to expand northward into indian subcont that could cause some giant earthquakes beneath the ocean floor to sink this tiny islands chain into water. Indian ocean is also a culprit of pacific rim violences that can shake the island nations like indonesia, Philippines, or japan... even to the Formosa island, as well as the pacific shorelined nations, all the way fo Chile.
When u live in maldives its kinda scary
I pray for the people that live rhere
omfg there are so many empty homes stop wasting money on building islands when we have perfectly good land already!
I am an Aerospace Engineer so I have a pretty heavy hard science background, but I just don't understand this...there must be other variables at work. I say that because I grew up in Cocoa Beach, Fl. in the 60's and 70's and moved back three years ago and the same beaches I went to as a young boy and the same lagoon estuaries I hunted ducks in as a teen boy still look very much the same to me.
Warmer temps are killing coral in Maldives which act as a natural barrier, allowing for more severe wave action and tidal changes causing more erosion and flooding. Think of it as the beginning of worse things to come. Canary in the coal mine. The changes will be slow, and then all of a sudden for Florida. Especially as the ice caps melt.
I'm a believer in the new technology called living coastlines whi ch is currently being used along the southeastern coast. It works to rebuild the shoreline and it might work elsewhere. It should be used everywhere.
if Maldives was from south pacific ocean, Maldives would have sunk already.
I'm drinking all the water I can
NOW I WANNA TAKE YOU TO GEOGRAPHY CLASS, BABE
Stop the chem. trails...
For not romantasizing this desperate climate issue, I was surprised the reporter was so chipper. Only one?
Another reason for population reduction and less of an emphasis on procreation in the extreme. I have empathy for these people and their endemic problems living on islands at sea level being chronically swamped over time. Who knows what the solution is? Other than what they happen to be doing already. Goes to show that energy production and conservation are a legitimate and affective concept for both developed and less developed nations.
We can literally add back to the island
It’s my country 🥺❤️
Japan built sea walls but they have holes really Japan REALLY?
Horrible idea of floating cities 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
just take a close look those US journalists, and you get an idea who brought this trouble to maldives.
It's called evolution I pray for them
It’s called human irresponsibility and self sabotage. It’s our fault earth is this polluted.
@@MA-ph5ib we are coming out of an ice age. The water has been rising along. Look at all the under water citys lost to a rising sea bed. There are hundreds we know of. I'm not saying we all can't do our part but let's not get our panties in a bunch.
@@Voicenreason247 i don’t ~ but I also know evolution doesn’t cause the drastic change in temperature and emissions that earth has experienced and not to mentioned the gap in the ozone layer- that was all human made. If you are comparing the evolution that caused earth to be what it is you are forgetting the meteorite (or asteroid) that hit the earth ~ which caused the “evolution” you are mentioning. My point is ~ something as drastic as the meteorite (or asteroid) HAD to happened in other for the rest to follow. Humans are the equivalent of that but even if we have the ability to think we have destroyed (little by little) our only home and might be the culprits of our own extinction. See the difference here?
@@Voicenreason247
What will your prayers do?
What is causing the current sea rise??
What is causing the current global warming??
What is causing the current climate change??
I’ll be eligible to retire in 2050😂🤣😂🤣
Thank God Gilligan and Mary Ann no longer live on a island.
The whay you say the maldives island's name is really weird
The Maldives were supposed to go under 20 years ago. Probably wont go under in the next 100 either,
i love the maldives and have been there multiple times it would be horrible to see it vanish
Tuvalu is getting bigger and so are Maldives. The sea level rise is a hoax.
WE need change in the world, geographically. Things disappearing and coming on are welcome.
ABC News needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants tress!!!
The rich will find new vacation spots.
Not so much for people living there.
Risen where? Not in MA
What happened to the “South Pacific“?
Let these beautiful people be welcomed in America… this is so disheartening… we’re killing the planet and each other daily. God help us🙌🏽 🌎🥰
I guess we’ll find out in 2050
