Wonderful letter here from a genuine expert on the science of sea-level changes to the president of the Maldives saying that – despite his publicity stunt in which the cabinet met underwater – his fascist little fiefdom is not going to sink between the waves. What do the BBC do? Report the president’s demands for more money to deal with the impending (non) disaster:
Mohamed Nasheed said there was so little money offered to vulnerable nations that it was like arriving at an earthquake with a dustpan and brush.
Not a peep that he’s completely, utterly wrong.
