If Climate Change is Really a Threat, Why Would China, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Abu Dhabi Invest Billions in the Maldives
The Maldives has always been the poster child for Climate Alarmists. They have claimed that rising sea levels would wipe this island nation from the map. The problem is, the sea level isn’t rising in the Maldives. So right off the bat, something has a very bad odor. Now we find that China, a huge beneficiary of the UN’s Clean Development Mechanism funding, and Abu Dhabi, funder of the anti-fracking movie “Promised Land,” have invested fortunes in the Maldives. Does that make any sense? Two countries that are heavily invested in promoting the AGW Climate Change myth would invest in islands that are scheduled to sink into the oceans due to man-made CO2?

Foreign debt is viewed with great enthusiasm by the current governments in the Asia-Pacific region, but not so much by the rest of the population. Former Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed recently warned that its monumental debt to China has put the country at risk of a “land grab.” “We can’t pay the $1.5-2 billion debt to China,” Nasheed told the Nikkei Asian Review in an interview. If the Maldives falls behind on its payments, China will “ask for equity” from the owners of various islands and infrastructure operators, and Beijing will then “get free hold of that land,” he also reportedly said.
