So, I was recently reading some stuff on CNN and ran across an article about the new president of the Maldives Islands. This new president, Mohamed "Anni" Nasheed, has issued one of his first actions which is to find land for everyone on his whole island. You may be a bit confused, but with the rising waters of the ocean due to climate, Nasheed is looking for somewhere for everyone in the Maldives to stay when the islands finally fall below the sea. I find it crazy that countries are being forced to face this issue. Global warming of climate change really is a world issue and countries should be offering land for people like the Maldivians and/or looking to solve the issue. After all it might not be long until some of our cities in the United States may be faced with the same rising waters.
