    omg, Maldives are you still there?

    I actually just watched a 'fiction' movie, 'Ocean's Rising' (2017). Apart from the bad acting, the scientific information accurately reflected what 'The Island President' is trying to get the rest of the planet to pay attention. He's got mine. I already am concerned and do what I've been capable of doing to diminish the effects of climate change. It is time to up my game!!
