Thursday, 3rd December 2009 Why the Maldives aren't sinking by Nils-Axel Mörner
"The people of the Maldives had no problems surviving the 17th century, which was 50cm higher than now.
By the end of this century, sea level may have risen by between 30cm and 50cm according to the various IPCC scenarios. Our records suggest a maximum of 20cm. Neither of those levels would pose any real problem — simply a return to the situation in the 17th and the 19th to early 20th centuries, respectively.
