Global warming is real.

The Maldives is a nation made up of 1192 islands in the Indian Ocean. It is the lowest country in the world. It's average elevation is five feet above sea level. Sea level has risen by seven inches since 1900 records were started. Scientists predict that sea level will rise by two more feet by 2100. The 390,000 people there are building a floating island. The Island will rise when all the ice in the Netherlands melts. Good idea for Florida and New York. Source: Popular Science July, 2010. Page 32.
