But a brutal truth is that all the beauty of the Maldives is located at low altitude, the national average height above the sea 1.5 m, 80% of the land does not exceed 1 m. If the United Nations on global warming, sea level rise speed calculation accuracy, the fastest one century the Islands will be swallowed up by the sea. The Maldives is not pushing hands behind the scenes of global warming, but is the global village, the first batch of bear consequences "villagers". In an interview with this newspaper, each Maldives people talk of climate change will increase when adrenaline, this subject gave birth to the endless conflict; in the December Copenhagen climate summit, they are mostly optimistic, particularly on China's role had infinite hope. Copenhagen Summit may be to save the "paradise" last chance. They become 1 meter high waves, some places also up to 4 meters, fully poured into the streets of Malé, all at chrome, are crying, in prayer, like the end of the world came to the same! you know Maldives history has no tsunami, or even tropical storm, but this time the scourge casualties. The Maldives ' first collective feelings to sea level rise on the life of a threat. -Maldives man Ikvam memories at the end of 2004 tsunami "look at the seaside trees exposed roots, they sooner or later have to die. "Standing in a snowy Villigili Island Beach, the 27-year-old Maldivian people Ikvam no enjoy the scenery. He lit a cigarette, geomorphology encounter erosion hurts. Has been assigned to the New Delhi Ikvam was once a Foreign Ministry official, because of worries about the home environment deteriorated, he reached the island taken environmental volunteers. Ikvam said that white thin beach is gradually being drowned by a rise in sea level, this scene and as Arctic glaciers. Coconut tree is a symbol of the country, but the sea wash, the loss of soil is constantly make Maldives vegetation as sea level rise of the first martyrs. Ikvam on reporter said: "I have seen countless coconut palms out, please look at my back coconut tree, which previously was a straight, but due to erosion unsound, now has become a 30-degree incline. "Reporters see, seawater and then diffuse into the 5 m will devour eyes this beach, a tide of hit, white sand is washed away. Beach on the other side is a row of 70s built holiday flats, but has been retired, offshore sea of about 10 metres is broken wall ruins, it is clear that there was no suitable to tourism. "My father has become the ' climate refugees '" Villigili island and Malé only 7 minutes away from the Terminal, its situation makes male anxiety, it's less than 1 m above sea level, is becoming a typical marine erosion, male man one lift this island you will say: "it is becoming more and more short ' to '!" " My father has become the ' climate refugees '. He had lived in the island in the Maldives called Hathifushi, the northernmost, however in 2007 when they have all been drowning, 80 people all you want to transfer to another higher Island Hanimaadhoo, I was worried about the future of more people. "Ikvam said. In the Maldives's 30 million people, 10 million people live in male ', the rest are scattered in 194 Island, this is one up-to-date Government, of which 164 are serious erosion of the sea. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on climate change (IPCC) means, 1961 the global average sea level rise due to thermal expansion, 1.8 mm, glaciers, ice caps and polar ice cap melting accelerated since 1993 to 3.1 mm, so the fastest 100 years sea level rise will drown the entire Maldives.

But now, due to climate change, is about to be drowned in the emergence of the island has a mass, which is really terrible. "Residents of spontaneous collection in order to protect the stone consolidation coast beaches and trees, journalists found the locals out a magic weapon. For example, on the beach to put a messy piles of rocks, are collected from all parts of the population, but only the half-metre high, the waves through can easily cross; in bare root, or put a lot of already blackening of gravel, one about the original is also want to use to consolidate the inhabitants of the roots.
