At that rate, most of the Maldives will have gone under water in about 1 to 1.5 century.

How long have they been there? These catastrophe predictions don't have a good record of accuracy. Note the one here in 1988 that said the Maldives would be underwater within 30 years, which should have happened 6 years ago, but they look the same to me now as they were in 1988! Can you see the change?

The "BBC report", oh dear, enuff said, hehe.

In other news, volcanoes aren't hot, the sun isn't hot either, and it doesn't give us an average temperature of 16°C which would be -16°C with no greenhouse Gases.

True, but the global warming threat for most is further away than their kids lives.

Personally I take no notice of any climate or pollution change data. The evidence for me exists in the accelerating rate of species and population decline of small arthropods. It's existing at an ever more alarming rate beyond any possible doubt and easily observable to anyone throughout most of the world.

The guilt is there, but whose or which it is isn't known with certainty.

This sea level rise prediction is from the first IPCC report in 1990 - it was heavily criticised at the time because the "Best" guess was quite a bit higher than the sea level rise rate at the time. However it has proven to be quite accurate
