Some years ago, 60 Minutes reporter Liz Hayes I took a trip to paradise: an idyllic little place called the Maldives. Just step outside your room and there was a fabulous beach, a long stretch of pure white sand. She returned in 2009, when if you tried to do the same thing, you end up in the ocean. If ever you needed proof that global warming exists, it's right there. The Maldives is drowning. They'll be almost entirely under water by the end of the century. But the Maldivians won't go down without a fight. They're taking drastic action to save their island nation. And if all else fails, there's a fallback plan: pack up and resettle in Australia.

I live bang smack on the edge of Moreton Bay Queensland and my back yard literally IS Moreton Bay! The ocean waves continually lap (during full tide) at the small rock retaining wall that divides the Bay and my backyard. I can most sincerely tell you that there has been no noticeable rise in sea levels over the last 19 years that I have lived here and prior to that the only "rise" in water levels was during a very rare Storm surge that may or may not occur every 50+ years. The last one was in the 1960's and water heights were above the power line poles. Fortunately I live in a top floor apartment on the off chance that it may happen again. My parents were taught that the Pacific Islands were slowly sinking when they were at school in the 1930's! Not due to climate change, but rather the way that Pacific Islands are formed. They are mostly volcanic formations that both lose land to the ocean and also "grow" new land formations due to lava flows and tectonic plate upheaval. I was taught the same thing when I was at school in the 60's-70's.

What annoys me is the notion that we are causing this. The earth is changing constantly, oceans fall and rise, new islands are created while old ones sink this has happened for millions of years before humans and it will happened for million more years after we are gone. This whole anti-humanist notion that we are the cause of all the ills on this planet is ridiculous, 99% of all animals that have ever existed are now extinct and we had nothing to do with it, so let's temper down this alarmist rhetoric.

I've been to the Maldives many times, and it's undeniably a beautiful destination. However, there are some important factors to consider. Firstly, be aware that in some areas, the water can be quite shallow, often just knee-deep. So, it's essential to choose a resort or location that suits your water depth preferences. Additionally, some beaches may have sand filled with dead corals due to erosion, so research your destination carefully to find the best beach conditions. Secondly, the weather in the Maldives can be unpredictable, and I’d avoid going there during the rainy seasons for a more enjoyable experience. Despite this tho, the Maldives can be absolutely breath-taking. So yeah, just remember to do proper research. Personally, what makes Maldives so great is the staff; you’ll basically be treated like royalty. Anyway, if got any questions, just ask.

1/You are aware our planet are rotating, right? 2/You are aware that half of the expansion were related to ice melt and rest due to expansion of water as it heats. Now the heating expansion are taking over and the rise of the water accelerates. As an example you can look at New York and Miami. NY have had 2 large floodings last years costing billions and Miamis over 50 million year old fresh water ecological system are crumbling under salt water intrusion due to rising waters. 3/All countries can now measure water rise but not all will experience same rise at the same time. Consider this as well. Australians are now the most greenhouse gas emitting nationals on the planet per Capita. You even managed to pass USA that have had that sad title for decades. Only a handful of nations have so optimal possibilities to transition fast as Australia and yet you do not do it! 300 millions climate refugees are expected in our generation, hereunder probably the Maldivian population. I am sure you, as I, would find it fair that the majority of these climate refugees are welcomed by the highest emitters and those with low population density! Australia top the list in both cases! and this. CO2 taxes are being introduced in nations around the world as in trade agreements. Australia can embarrass themselves further in front of the world by continuing to be slow to transition but the CO2 taxes will make your goods and services increasingly noncompetitive while your costs towards draughts, floods, bushfires etc etc do the same. That will strain your economy while you still have to invest to transition. You can, in other words, decide to continue your downwards spiral economically while your brand will diminish around the world OR invest NOW and laugh all the way to the bank. Your nation Bruce! THINK!

@@aussie5468 Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change its shape, area, volume, and density in response to a change in temperature. Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance. When a substance is heated, molecules begin to vibrate and move more, usually creating more distance between themselves. The relative expansion (also called strain) divided by the change in temperature is called the material's coefficient of linear thermal expansion and generally varies with temperature. As energy in particles increases, they start moving faster and faster, weakening the intermolecular forces between them and therefore expanding the substance. In other words, when water heats, it expands. Heard about the steam engine? Lets add this, so you can learn even more. Between 1901 and 2018, the average global sea level rose by 15-25 cm (6-10 in), or 1-2 mm per year.[1] This rate is increasing; sea levels are now rising at a rate of 3.7 mm (0.146 inches) per year.[2] Human-caused climate change is predominantly the cause, as it constantly heats (and thus expands) the ocean and melts land-based ice sheets and glaciers.[3] Between 1993 and 2018, thermal expansion of water contributed 42% to sea level rise (SLR); melting of temperate glaciers contributed 21%; Greenland contributed 15%; and Antarctica contributed 8%.[4]: 1576  Because sea level rise lags changes in Earth temperature, it will continue to accelerate between now and 2050 purely in response to already-occurring warming;[5] whether it continues to accelerate after that depends on human greenhouse gas emissions. If global warming is limited to 1.5 °C (2.7 °F), then sea level rise does not accelerate, but it would still amount to 2-3 m (7-10 ft) over the next 2000 years, while 19-22 metres (62-72 ft) would occur if the warming peaks at 5 °C (9.0 °F)

@@BradGryphonn Thank you. Yes! The damage done by the Murdoch media in Australia and USA are beyond comprehension. Largest emitters and least knowledgeable. When your PM stood in your parliament with a piece of coal and declared, in 2020 that it were not dangerous, he instantly diminished the brand value of Australia considerably. That made many understand just how backwards the broad climate related thinking in Australia were and highlighted how far behind in transition the nation were. In January the worlds largest energy transition project in the world (North Sea Summit agreement) were signed. 220 million people will in just 10 years be transitioned from fossil fuel based made electricity to emission free electricity. All done with off shore windmill parks. On top, inside same project, the worlds largest green hydrogen production from same windmills. A small percentage of this hydrogen will be used for energy production when the wind does not blow but the vast majority will be sold on the open market for cars, trucks, trains and planes. Just under around 50% of global rails are today not electrified. This have been high on many nations transition list and electrifying these rails would have costed trillions. With a high global emission free production of green hydrogen these rails can replace their diesel and diesel electric locomotives with hydrogen driven locomotives and trillions will be saved while the goal still are met. How come that the "free Australian media" have completely suppressed all information about this project for the Australian population? FACTS are that Australia could make a simple copy/paste of this project in smaller scale and become infrastructural emission free in a decade as well. It would create lots of well paying jobs while truly ensuring national emission free energy supply while you at the same time could laugh all the way to the bank! Retraining miners to raise and service off shore windmills comes to mind as an optimal solution. They would gain 10-15 years of living age and live much better life´s Could it be that your media are just as dependent on "bribes" from the fossil fuel industry like your politicians? You should realise this are more than a little democratic problem. This are humanity´s largest problem and this are the worlds largest project and you are not even informed about it!? Australian media normally LOVES articles about the biggest and top 10 lists, but apparently not in this case! Even on shore windmills and green hydrogen production are optimal for Australia. Imagine remote villages that suddenly can be selfsufficient with electricity and a green flexible fuel. Use the electricity you need and make green hydrogen for the areas cars, trucks and farming machines and sell the rest on the open market? Because of Murdoch and the fossil fuel industry Australia missed the opportunity to become global leaders in this technology. The 4 stroke hydrogen engine as well as the hydrogen jet engine exists now and when it comes to hydrogen driven cars and trucks it will fit a nation like the Australian much better than any electric vehicle because of the long distances. Its a bit sad that some do not seem to realise that only a friend will tell you the truth that might feel uncomfortable to hear. Your enemy will happily stay silent while you fail. The silent ones are Murdoch media and many of your politician, that needs to redesign the taxation system to accommodate for new energy production and usage, instead of subsidising fossil fuels that will prevent Australia from exporting eventually and thus leave you penny less fast as the rest of the world´s trade and taxation systems will make you un-competitive. May the truth soon dawn for the broad population. The current situation and Australia´s stance in the free world are deteriorating daily at the moment. I know your media do not tell you, but that are the truth. Australia are alienating themselves from their best friends that understand and respond to reality.

I can most sincerely tell you that there has been no noticeable rise in sea levels over the last 19 years that I have lived here and prior to that the only "rise" in water levels was during a very rare Storm surge that may or may not occur every 50+ years. The last one was in the 1960's and water heights were above the power line poles. Fortunately I live in a top floor apartment on the off chance that it may happen again. My parents were taught that the Pacific Islands were slowly sinking when they were at school in the 1930's! Not due to climate change, but rather the way that Pacific Islands are formed. They are mostly volcanic formations that both lose land to the ocean and also "grow" new land formations due to lava flows and tectonic plate upheaval. I was taught the same thing when I was at school in the 60's-70's.

This is just utter nonsense. The fact is that small tropical islands and atolls shift with natural processes, so you can always find one beach somewhere that has changed over time. However, the over-arching picture is very different. A study at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, published in 2021 (and it's not the only one) undertook an extensive study of atolls in the Pacific Nations of Marshall Islands and Kiribati as well as the Maldives and found that the bulk of these islands had grown in area over the past six decades - only 10% had become smaller. A report in Science Direct confirmed - using LANDSAT satellite imagery - that since 200 the Maldives have ADDED 37.50 square km of land area. The other point is that if the Maldives Government was genuinely concerned how come they are still building airports and expanding the tourist industry?

I live in South Africa. The castle of Good Hope was built on the sea shores nearly 400 years ago. The sea has receded since then so much that it is not on the shore anymore, so if water starts rising again it only tells me that the world moves through stages. Its nothing new. Its just new for us in this generation. I wish everyone could understand that and not go on about climate change. Educate yourself first. Scientist found forests under the Arctic ice. How did it get there - at some stage it had to be not frozen. Think about it.

The difference is that ice sheets retreating from the last glacial maximum took place over thousands of years (over 10,000). However, while the earth is naturally heating up as we exit the last ice age (the norm), human activity has accelerated this natural process by replicating what took nature about 5,000 years in only a century.

Oh well. The oceans have gone up and down over the life of the life. At 3:30 that man literally LIED. It has not been "millions" of years since the coral reefs of the Maldives have had any issues. During the last ice age between 11,600 and 20,000 years ago, the oceans were 400 FEET lower than today. So there were not coral reefs in the Maldives like there are today. Because we humans have built on islands and close to shore within the past 500 years or so does not make the rise and lowering of the oceans stop. So NOW it is a big problem??? The Co2 levels on Earth today are lower than what they should be. They are under 400 ppm when they should be closer to 1000 ppm. Yes, the Earth's climate is changing...AS IT ALWAYS HAS!! the answer?

What do we do with the leftover extracted salt and the nasty chemicals that are generated by these white elephants? We already have a bunch of these expensive dinosaur plants spread about the place and they are now rotting and corroding away. Back near the end of the first decade of the 21st Century we had this climate change cultist dork called Professor Tim Flannery who was the government's Chief advisor on all things climate changey. He kept harping on about doom and disaster and telling us that Australia had passed the point of no return, so therefore we would be living in a permanent drought by 2012! Our governments loved it and spent up big time on de-sal plants. Cost taxpayer's a bundle and now most under-used, with many simply rusting and eroding away. The government calls them a "backup plan" nowadays, but if they are needed in the future, most won't work because they haven't been maintained. I think Professor Flannery holds the world record for the most climate doomsday predictions made that have failed to occur! Something like 26 predictions that he made which were all based on IPCC models, completely failed to occur. Another one of his predictions was that Sydney Harbour would be underwater by 2012! (He really hated the year 2012) hahah. Of course Professor Flannery not only talked the talk, but also walked the walk. His chosen place of residence being a very luxurious home on the Sydney waterfront! Bwwhahha!

I have seen this along the Mozambique coastline for decades.. even as far back at 2006 tarred roads 100 meters out in the waves. I can only tell you what I have seen ..... planting trees on the beach and seeing them washed away a few years later. again....beach volley ball courts ... washed away. Island Resorts try to pack huge tubes of sand along the coastline to keep the water from the lodges. The ocean is coming in. There is no question about that unless you don't live on the ocean. Why less or more in some places..... well that probably has to do with tides and movement but there is no doubt that is a reality.

I live in north-east Canada, we see /directly/ with our own eyes what climate change is doing. We used to be a "cold" place, but every year we were/are breaking summer and winter warming temperatures-- and the ice bergs floating around us are getting bigger and bigger as they break from the north glaciers. Not to mention, our land in the north is literally exploding as the permafrost thaws out, methane pockets thaw and explode from the ground, sending more methane into the air than the planet can deal with. People in more temperate climates have no idea what is coming for them until it is too late... for them. We started it, but now it is self-cycling and we /can't/ stop it. Every time in history the planet changed temperature by 2C... all large animals on the planet went extinct. We are not special, it is our turn next. And we cannot stop it.

I'm glad you admit climate has changed multiple times in the past WITHOUT human intervention. Perhaps others can also admit that truth, put the hysteria behind us, and get on with our lives. It's MUCH more productive to simply adapt to changes than pretend that we can order the sea to obey us. King Canute demonstrated the folly of that.

It's the same as it's always been. We must adapt or die. That's it. While this may be occurring and painted as bad. I suppose it will eventually make a place like Greenland, a habital place. The earth has always changed and always will. Who promised us that it wouldn't?

This show presented only ONE possible climate-related fact: ONE beach is eroding. Beaches around the world build up and erode over the decades. ONE beach means nothing. The "coral expert" didn't utter a single fact. Nothing about changing ocean temperature or ph. He simply opined that the coral was all going to die. I strongly suspect he said exactly the same thing a decade ago when Australia's Great Coral Reef was bleached and not doing well, but now it has come back very strongly. This whole story was just Chicken Little running around saying the sky is falling.

Erosion is a natural occurrence. It is a stretch to pin it on climate change. Tectonic movements can change landscapes, lifting or sinking pockets of land. Let's not forget that we are living on floating land crust and there is molten liquid underneath.

I'd like to ask why there doesn't appear to be any rise in sea water around the fringes of the Indian Ocean. Could it be that the earths crust is subsiding in the area of the Maldives? The opposite of the Himalayas. Is global warming financially important to those that choose to believe it and promote it, possibly! However, explain the large increase in ice shelves in the Antarctic since 2019? let's all just ask ourselves a few logical questions before we all run around, screaming doom with our hands in the air! Personally, I think it's all completely natural and the earths climate cycle continues as it has done for millennia! The outcome of all this miss interpretation of data and chasing of net zero, will bankrupt the industrial West, this intern will create shortages globally, creating famine in more challenged societies. The world has never been in such a good place as this last century with less poverty and famine globally every day, but surely this will decline with ineffective, green, energy, alternatives, and the loss of essential traditional energy sources in the western world. A certain country that is building two coal fired power stations a week while ignoring net zero, and the so-called climate crisis will become all powerful. Let's all just take a deep breath and think about it, very seriously!

Another armchair scientist who literally has no idea what he's talking about. The warm pools are getting even warmer and sending humidity into the atmosphere which creates more rain. Also, they are most certainly rising. Indian Ocean sea levels are rising unevenly and threatening coastal areas and islands. Sea-level rise is especially high along the coastlines of the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, Sri Lanka, Sumatra and Java.

They could change this whole narrative the way the US and other places are trying to do it. The headline is something like:" Top 10 Sinking Cities". You see, foolish humans built skyscrapers too close to the ocean, and that's causing the land too sink. A lot of people have repeated just that without giving a thought to how long the skyscrapers have been there, and how only now is sea level rise increasing so fast. Maybe all the people in those skyscrapers gained a lot of weight!

The only and urgent way to save Maldives from disappearing due to a rise in sea level and tsunamis is to construct Ocean Walls by the usage of non-biodegradable wastes. One efficient way to dispose off the non-biodegradable waste is to recycle it for construction purposes. The non-recyclable metal-plastic waste is crushed to form bricks which can be used to construct cemented Ocean Walls so that both the problems ( flooding and waste disposal) can be taken care of simultaneously. The government and private companies have to share the expenditure for the waste disposal in the construction of ocean walls. The height of these Ocean Walls should be 6m (20ft) to beat the rise of tsunami waves and the strength of the wall should be 3m (9ft) so that it could stall away tsunami waves effectively. One can imagine a "China wall" standing as an example for the thickness and strength purposes for the design of ocean walls around the entire circumference of all 26 islands of Maldives. Maldives is the world trade hub therefore, a "Skyscraper" tower should be constructed for 400 business companies and 30,000 occupants to run the business in an area of just 1sq.km of the island. Each household should have one compost pit/tub for processing bio-degradable waste. Even more, for the resorts island which should not be permitted to throw their waste into the ocean or anywhere else (Thilafushi). They should have their own waste disposal mechanisms in place. If they know how to make profit they should equally be held responsible for the environment degradation. The Tax reforms in this regard is a viable option.
