President Rasheed of The Maldives Speaks
Saturday/17 October 2009
I hope you will take a minute and
nineteen seconds to listen to President Nasheed of the Republic of
Maldives, an island nation in the Indian Ocean.
The average elevation of The Maldives is one and a half metres above sea level. It will disappear completely if the current trajectory of glacial and polar icecap melting is maintained. The Maldives held an underwater cabinet meeting to illustrate this to the world.

Will you do something on October 24?
If you are in Canada and need the phone number, email address or snail mail address of any members of the House of Commons including the obstructionist PM, links are provided in the sidebar.
Regarding the dishonourable, obstructive behaviour of the Canadian government at the Bangkok climate negotiations and its track record in dealing with CO2 emissions, my friend John had this to say: "Tory popularity is increasing faster than the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere. Because Steve sang and played the piano. Most of the electorate is doped on bad food and defeated by stupid jobs. They just want to watch tv and not be disturbed by reality." What do you think? Leave a comment anytime with your views and/or action suggestions. Let's let the leaders have our views on October 24 — loud and clear.
Reality cometh like a friggin freight train through your ever-loving living room, sayeth the billblog.
