re: #370 Noam Sayin’

Actually, no. The article merely talks about the president preparing for the possibility. What I was looking for is an article that says, “[This Island] used to be 3.5 feet above sea level at the highest point, not it is only 2.6 feet above sea level.”

Like this?

Over the last century, sea levels have risen about 20 centimetres (8 in);[12][13] further rises of the ocean could threaten the existence of Maldives, being the lowest country in the world, with a maximum natural ground level of only 2.3 metres (7 ft 7 in), with the average being only 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) above sea level.
