Maldives...........The tiny South Asian nation consists of about 1200 coral islands with an average elevation of just 1.5 metre. Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed is trying to prevent his island nation from going underwater.
President Mohamed Nasheed said "We have to have a kitty saved for rainy day. That might mean some of the people, whoever want to get relocated to be able to go somewhere. I think any responsible Maldives government should be thinking along these tracks. We haven't had an official discussion on that but I've always been mentioning to Indian officials that it's important that we are able to buy land in India, it's important we are able to have easy access to India, so that these eventualities can be cover."
Due to global warming the level of the Indian Ocean is rising, causing submergence of large parts of the Maldives.Global warming one of doomaday scenario.
