Well, climate change has really affected us. These effects are so prominent in some countries that they have started campaigning about it. In this list of campaigning Maldives have become the most distinct one. Recently, the government of Maldives conducted a cabinet meeting underwater to symbolize the threat they are in. Maldives is a low lying Indian Ocean country which is in risk of complete disappearance from the globe.
Maldives stand at an average height of only 2.1 meters (7 feet) above the sea level and the increasing global temperature has posed a significant risk of complete wipe put.
Ministers spent about half an hour underwater and communicated by hand signals and white boards. The president of Maldives said that the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen on December cannot fail.
After the underwater meeting, President Nasheed said that “If the summit fails, we are going to die.”
A very touching word that the President Nasheed said was “If the Maldives cannot be saved today we do not feel that there is much of a chance for the rest of the world.”
UN climate change conference in Copenhagen is aiming to make a new agreement replacing the 1997 Kyoto protocol which will expire in 2012.
In the mean time Nepal is also planning to hold Cabinet meeting at the Mount Everest base camp to highlight its problem because of Global warming.
