MALDIVES LEADER LOOKS FOR NEW LAND

President-elect of the Maldives Mohamed Nasheed wants to invest funds to to buy a new homeland as rising sea levels threaten to submerge the island archipelago. Most of the landmass of the Maldive Islands stands little more than a meter above sea level, and Nasheed told Daily Planet Media that money would be invested in a land buying fund from the profits of the country's tourist industry. Environmentalists believe that if global warming continues unchecked the Maldives will disappear this century under the waves of the Indian Ocean. The President-elect said he had discussed buying land with a number of countries including sites in Sri Lanka and India that were in close proximity and with similar cultures.

The Maldives have previously experienced higher sea levels anyway. But if the truth came out, the subsidies would cease ! So they are forced to continue the hoax or lose money.

-> "close proximity"? And what, pray tell would be distant proximity? Proxima Centauri is more than four light years (40 trillion kilometres) away. But it's called "proxima" because it's the closest star to us, other than the sun. dow
