Global Warming in Maldives, Time for Panic!

The small island nation of Maldives thinks it is screwed.  Its president has proposed that all 300,000 citizens just pack up and move.  He has proposed that they move to India or Australia.  It is a long archepelago of islands with an average height of four feet above sea level.  Basically, a strong wave can wipe out the nation.  They take global warming very seriously and are keeping a keen eye on the sea level.  So think about that the next time you drive down the street with the windows down and the AC on high.
