Three days ago, a country known as Maldives (a low lying atoll nation off the coast of India) held a cabinet meeting in an effort to draw global attention to climate change and the crisis that it'll bring if left uncontrolled.
According to predictions, Maldives will be completely submerged and uninhabitable if global warming continues to cause slight rises in sea level. In lieu to that projection, they donned skuba gear and held a meeting underwater to sign a resolution printed on a whiteboard and signed in water-proof marker to urge controlling global emissions.
They said that "Maldives is a front-line nation, what happens to us today may happen to others tomorrow". But we shouldn't have to wait to see a whole country submerged and then take action to save our sorry keisters.
These guys in my opinion have the right idea. People need to pay attention to everyone else and stop being so considerate of only their own endeavors. I passed by this article while surfing the internet and felt the need to share. It's witty and has impact, I couldn't pass up blogging it.
