SEA LEVEL CONTROVERSY IN MALDIVES

This story in the Telegraph explains how the new President of the Maldives is worried about the sea level rise forecast by climate alarmists. This seems completely at odds with the scientific research carried out on the islands and documented in the excellent video "Global Warming - Doomsday Called Off" (to find the section about the Maldives go to about 28-30 minutes in) where sea levels have been found to have fallen. It seems astonishing that the President should believe alarmists over the actual evidence on the shore.

    Perhaps the president read the study "Sea-level rise at tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean islands." (Church, White and Hunter, 2006).

    The abstract states: "We find no evidence for the fall in sea level at the Maldives as postulated by Mörner et al. (2004)," and "Over the region 40°S to 40°N, 30°E to 120°W, the average rise is about 4 mm yr− 1."
