Melting of the huge Antarctic glaciers, proceeding more rapidly than anticipated, threatens a rise in sea level that will drive tens of millions from the low-lying plains of Bangladesh alone, with disastrous consequences elsewhere.
I want to go to the Maldives before they sink, but just because it's the most beautiful place on earth.
We are trying to send our message to let the world know what is happening and what will happen to the Maldives if climate change isn't checked.
When the polar ice caps melt, my recording studio will rise up like an ark, and I'll float off into the drowned world like a character from a J.G. Ballard novel.
There's no question that, um, you know, the oceans have risen, right? And the climate change part is, is a real part of it.
The sea is not rising. It hasn't risen in 50 years.
I believe that climate change is real, is driven mainly by human activity and that it is driving real-world changes such as extreme weather events, hotter temperatures, rising sea levels and ocean acidification.
Climate change is a global problem. The planet is warming because of the growing level of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. If this trend continues, truly catastrophic consequences are likely to ensue from rising sea levels, to reduced water availability, to more heat waves and fires.
