05 JUNE 2024 WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 1. The Maldives is one of the countries that should not celebrate World Environment Day. Even though the Maldives is presented at the international forums as a low-lying nation, we are at the front line of the impacts of climate change. Knowing all these things, the Maldives is the one country that does things which destroy its environment openly. Dragging sand from the bottom of the ocean floor and pouring it onto the beautiful lagoons and the reefs which took thousands and thousands of years to grow. The Maldives has made more than 250 islands by dragging sand over the lagoons and the reefs. 2. The Maldives is made up of about 1,190 coral islands formed around 26 natural ring-like atolls. Of this, no more than 200 islands are inhabited, the rest includes over 150 tourist resorts and uninhabited islands, some of which are used for fisheries and agricultural activities. We have still got more than 800 islands that are formed naturally to build resorts if needed. But the government of the Maldives are dragging the sand from the ocean floor and pouring it over the lagoons and the reefs to make the new resorts. This blocks the flow of the current completely through the atolls, which leads to warming up the temperature of the sea and eventually leads to bleaching and death of the remaining corals and the fishes that live inside the atoll. Which also leads to not getting the bait fish for the fishermen in the Maldives. The Maldives economy depends on fishing after tourism. 3. In the Maldives there are incidents where a ship or a boat accidentally hit a reef, the shipping company or the owner of the boat gets fined millions and millions of dollars for the damage caused to the reef. But there's no law or a rule which can fine the Ministry of Environment or the Environmental Protection Agency for the unimaginable damage they cause to the lagoons and the reefs across the Maldives in the name of new resorts by dragging sand over the reefs and lagoons. The funny thing is when they had to make an inhabited island due to lake of land, the Environmental Protection Agency know the impact of it to the environment and it becomes difficult to get the land the citizens need to make a living. It is proven scientifically that saving an area of 500m to 500m of lagoon and reef will help the environment rather than saving 1 million trees. Trees and rainforests produce approximately 28% of the oxygen on Earth, so what about the other 72%? Well, that comes from the plant life in the ocean. DO THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW THE IMPACTS CAUSED BY THESE THINGS, OR THEY ARE JUST DOING IT ON PURPOSE TO OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. OR THEY JUST WANT TO GET A BENEFIT FROM IT FOR NOW.
It's inevitable that Maldives 🇲🇻 will be submerged under the ocean water due to rising sea levels. - China, the biggest contributor to the event, won't come to help.
No the Maldives will not drown from sea level rise. And we have been hearing this since the 70s yet the Maldives is thriving. We have a detailed explanation in our video here: Are Coral Atolls Drowning From Sea Level Rise? ruclips.net/video/0Gi6ymO_dag/видео.html
I heard this since the late 1970s. The Maldives should not exist 25 years ago. However, scientists did not anticipate that mangrove levels also rise through entrapment of sediments. As far as I know in the past, cities like Venice and Genoa should be underwater. Contrary to conventional beliefs, nature adapts to climate changes naturally. Singapore should be underwater too if we believe the "experts". Besides, we are at the end of the last ice age cycle... no amount of our efforts will change or reverse this natural climate cycle. We are complimenting this cycle... we are not reversing anything. It's way over our head.
1. The Maldives Should Not Exist 25 Years Ago • Misinterpretation of Predictions: Predictions about the Maldives being submerged were not as definitive as implied. While some studies have highlighted the vulnerability of low-lying islands to sea level rise, the rate of sea level rise and the effectiveness of adaptation measures can vary. • Adaptation Measures: The Maldives have implemented various adaptation measures, such as constructing sea walls and elevating infrastructure, which have helped mitigate some immediate threats. 2. Scientists Did Not Anticipate Mangrove Sediment Entrapment • Mangrove Role: Scientists are well aware of the role of mangroves in coastal protection. Mangroves can indeed trap sediments and build land, but this process alone cannot counteract the significant rise in sea levels predicted under severe climate change scenarios. • Scientific Understanding: The contribution of mangroves to sediment entrapment and coastal stability is well-documented in scientific literature, indicating that scientists do consider these factors in their predictions. 3. Venice and Genoa Should Be Underwater • Localized Factors: While cities like Venice experience periodic flooding and are at risk due to rising sea levels and subsidence, they are not predicted to be completely underwater. Local adaptation strategies, such as Venice’s MOSE project, aim to protect against flooding. • Genoa: Genoa does not face the same immediate risk as Venice. It has different geographical and infrastructural conditions, making the blanket statement inaccurate. 4. Nature Adapts to Climate Changes Naturally • Rate of Change: Natural adaptation processes occur over long timescales. The rapid rate of current climate change due to human activities far exceeds the natural adaptation capabilities of many species and ecosystems. • Ecosystem Limits: Many ecosystems are already under significant stress and cannot adapt quickly enough to the rapid changes, leading to loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. 5. Singapore Should Be Underwater • Geographical Specificity: Singapore is implementing extensive measures to adapt to sea level rise, such as building protective infrastructure and elevating critical areas. The suggestion that it should be underwater dismisses the efforts and engineering measures in place. 6. We Are at the End of the Last Ice Age Cycle • Misunderstanding Climate Cycles: While natural climate cycles do occur, the current warming trend is primarily driven by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, not natural cycles. The rapid increase in GHGs from human activities is unprecedented in the geological record. • Scientific Consensus: The vast majority of climate scientists agree that the current changes are driven by human activities, not natural cycles alone. 7. No Amount of Our Efforts Will Change or Reverse This Natural Climate Cycle • Impact of Human Efforts: Mitigation and adaptation efforts can significantly influence the extent and severity of climate change impacts. Reducing emissions, transitioning to renewable energy, and enhancing resilience can mitigate the worst effects. • Evidence of Effectiveness: Historical examples, such as the reduction of CFCs to address the ozone hole, demonstrate that coordinated global efforts can have a positive impact on environmental issues. 8. We Are Complimenting This Cycle, Not Reversing Anything • Human Influence: Human activities are not just complementing natural cycles but are the dominant force driving current climate change. Efforts to reduce emissions are aimed at mitigating the human impact, not reversing natural processes. • Agency and Responsibility: Humans have the capacity and responsibility to reduce their impact on the climate, which is essential for mitigating adverse outcomes and ensuring a sustainable future. Conclusion You’re statement underestimates the scientific understanding of climate change, misrepresents predictions, and overlooks the significant human influence on current climatic shifts. Addressing climate change requires recognizing the primary role of human activities and the potential for effective mitigation and adaptation strategies.
If there are kind and capable people here, please donate to people that do their best to save what can be saved. We live in a time great dying and great awakening. Everyone who cares about safety and preservation of life on this planet deserves to be heard and if possible helped. Kindness and understanding. Enjoy every breath you take. Enjoy every time you open your eyes. Sleep well and stay healthy. I love you all. Lets not add to the suffering if we can. I live on Curaçao in the Caribbean. To all that understand where this message is comming from. You are welcome. Be kind. Stay sharp. Live, laugh, Love!!
Subduction zone - the atolls are on land that is descending simply due to plate boundary tectonics. The Indo-Australian plate is going under the African plate. Just be honest. As for bleaching, too much sea traffic pollution.
You must live under a rock? They did and presently under Chinese debt trap.... they're roughed up both ways.... while the rising sea levels are upfront....China is taking them royal from behind! But hey....Maldivian chose the crook Muizzu to lead them into bankruptcy, so let them deal with it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They annoyed hindu sthan and it's hindu God. But total dependent on hindu support for each and everything. Time to payback and repentance for actions done in human life 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They'll be joining Uyghurs in Xinjiang!
Muizzu pawned his family jewels to Xi!

This is in-depth analysis of why you’re comment is not correct.
Thanks China 🇨🇳 for
- building more and more *coal-fired power plants,* and
- burning more and more *fossil fuel.*
China have rolled out more clean energy than in 2023 than USA has in all history! Educate yourself before going on a Salem witch hunt!
傻逼
Afifah Ariffin did the interviews and leg work but someone else did the voice over? Should have let Afifah also do the voice over.

I live on Curaçao in the Caribbean. To all that understand where this message is comming from. You are welcome.
Be kind. Stay sharp. Live, laugh, Love!!
All islands are at risk including fiji etc etc
Yes here in Fiji the sea is rising rapidly.
We have to restrict human being movement to prevent global warming with the support of modern technologies.
Singapore isn't in a better position......
Hey, this is a repeat of Atlantis when heat ended the Ice Age.
Subduction zone - the atolls are on land that is descending simply due to plate boundary tectonics. The Indo-Australian plate is going under the African plate. Just be honest. As for bleaching, too much sea traffic pollution.
This is almost not true because im a maldivian
Is it safe to travel??
singapore has same problem,maldives shud buy a lots of sand from cambodia like singapore is doing to prevent singking
U talk very easy. Where money come from
It is mentioned in Quran
We are FAR past 'preservation'. Theres simply not much more to preserve. It should be about progress and REGENERATION!
Maldivians will migrate to China as per a recent agreement
Defeat true friendship interest,naturally, it must be defeated by nature
And Western governments keep on telling us how they will deal with immigration...! And it's growth that caused the climate crisis
It's easy to point a finger. I wish you kindness and understanding. Cherish life.
Omg! 🤦🏼♂️🙄 not this nonsense again! Al gore said it’d be submerged by now and it’s still here!
Same story everywhere nothing new….
again, economic growth essential? for who? that 1percent?lol
Alha will take them to heaven. There is no need of any human beings to support...
Singapore 🇸🇬 girl you know you are telling lies.
Seek help from china, period
You must live under a rock? They did and presently under Chinese debt trap.... they're roughed up both ways.... while the rising sea levels are upfront....China is taking them royal from behind!
But hey....Maldivian chose the crook Muizzu to lead them into bankruptcy, so let them deal with it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
One Piece is real
I don't care no more
CNA, this is not a new thing…
Bye Bye Maldives...Not a single refugee into Bharat...
What makes u think they'll choose u even in situations like that 😂
It is the act of God so they should ask Allah for help. Only Allah can reserse the climate change.
No god can reverse climate change as it is man made disaster.
Of course, all small islands will disappear one day, the Bible have already predicted that!
They annoyed hindu sthan and it's hindu God. But total dependent on hindu support for each and everything. Time to payback and repentance for actions done in human life 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not surprising because majority of the islands there are man-made.
They really aren't though
## BOYCOTT MALDIVES TOTALLY ##
They should stop having too many kids. 😊
If they show humanity on other religious people then they will also return the same...
They'll be relocating to Xinjiang and live happily ever with Uyghurs once the ocean reclaims it!
Womp womp we wont....😂
