‘Sinking’ Maldives to Open 4 New ‘Under water’ Airports​

Published on March 5, 2020

Written by climatism.blog

Those of us old enough to remember how long the climate scam has been running will recall how, in 1988, environmental ‘authorities’ and the United Nations predicted that the Maldives’ 1,196 islands would be underwater by 2018.


Gullible younger readers who believe the Greta BS about ‘dangerous’ global warming and rising sea levels need to get up to speed about the fraud and read this:

‘Sea level is threatening to completely cover’ Maldives’ 1,196 islands within 30 years…

Maldives to open four new airports in 2020 – Maldives Insider

Its too late. The wheels to decarbonising has turned.
You have activist shareholders who will protest if companies does not reduce their carbon footprint.
Shell was sued in Netherlands by activist for promoting carbon energy and they lost.
Banks are arm twisted not to finance carbon energy projects starting with coal.

Now you know why Saudi suddenly promotes tourism. Their oil will have no value in not too distant future.

Maldives to open four new airports in 2020​

January 5, 2020







Four new airports will come into operation this year, Maldives government announced Wednesday.

Transport minister Aishath Nahula told local media that construction of airports on the islands of Hoarafushi in Haa Alif atoll, Funadhoo in Shaviyani atoll, Madivaru in Lhaviyani atoll, and Maavarulu in Gaaf Dhaal atoll is nearing completion.

Funadhoo airport will come into operation this month, followed by Maavarulu in March, Madivaru in April and Hoarafushi in August, she said.

The airports being developed in Funadhoo, Madivaru and Maavarulu were amongst five new airports scheduled to open last year. However, the projects ran into several difficulties, with only two of the planned five airports opening in 2019.

Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) was awarded a MVR 50 million (USD 3.23 million) contract in 2018 to reclaim 21 hectares of land off the northwestern end of Funadhoo and build a 1,200-metre runway. The company had completed the runway along with an apron and taxiway in March.

Another MVR 57 million (USD 3.69 million) contract was awarded to the public company in 2018 to develop a 1,200-metre runway, a taxiway, an apron and a jetty at Maavarulu.

MTCC was also contracted in 2018 to reclaim 16 hectares of land from the lagoon of Hoarafushi and the neighbouring uninhabited island of Maafinolhu for the airport development project.

Meanwhile, Madivaru airport is nearing completion.

Kuredu Holdings, which owns and operates several resorts in Lhaviyani atoll, is investing USD 13 million to develop the airport. The project involves reclaiming some three hectares of land from the lagoon of Madivaru, building a 1.2-kilometre runway, and a training academy for aviation officials from flagship carrier Maldivian and seaplane operator Trans Maldivian Airways (TMA).

The company can develop a city hotel to incentivise the airport operation.

Lhaviyani atoll has one of the highest concentrations of tourism activity in the Maldives, with several resorts already operating in the atoll, including Kuredu Resort Maldives, Komandoo Island Resort and Spa, Hurawalhi Maldives, Palm Beach Island Maldives Resort and Spa, Atmosphere Kanifushi, Kanuhura Maldives, Fushifaru Maldives, Cocoon Maldives, Kudadoo Maldives Private Island by Hurawalhi, and Innahura Maldives Resort.

Over 1.5 million tourists from across the globe visit the Indian Ocean island nation every year to holiday in one of the 150 plus resorts and some 500 guesthouses located in all corners of the country. The multi-billion dollar tourism industry, which is the country’s main economic activity, relies heavily on the domestic transport infrastructure, especially air travel.

Maldives, the most dispersed country on the planet with 1,192 islands spread over roughly 90,000 square kilometres, already has 14 airports, including four international airports. The government has contracted both local and international companies to develop additional domestic airports across the archipelago in a bid to boost tourism.

Because they weren't sure whether it was cooling or warming, they changed 'global warming' to 'climate change'. Now they blame extreme weather patterns on you producing too much CO2.

It's a scam. Started by Al Gore, now co-opted by the UN.

How to know is sea level rising or ground level sinking ?

Everything is relative.

My uncle think more likelee to be ground sinking. Sea level rise need more ocean water .

 

[tanwahtiu]

Land sinking or shifting, water level is constant...

 

[sweetiepie]

My uncle think more likelee to be ground sinking. Sea level rise need more ocean water .

Although science states that rising temperature can cause sea water to expand therefore rising but that should be onlee a 1x rise eg 8inch then it will shrink when temperature is lowered. Cannot be like magic keep expanding and expanding without contracting. Therefore my uncle think catastrophe onlee occurs when ground level sink.

Sea levels rise when ice at the polar caps melt you twit.

 

[sweetiepie]

Sea levels rise when ice at the polar caps melt you twit.

The warming of Earth is primarily due to accumulation of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, and more than 90 percent of this trapped heat is absorbed by the oceans. As this heat is absorbed, ocean temperatures rise and water expands. This thermal expansion contributes to an increase in global sea level.

As the temperature of the ocean increases so will the total ocean volume. The increased volume will cause the level of the water in the oceans to rise.

Sea levels rise when ice at the polar caps melt you twit.

Ice frozen into massive blocks and become heavy weights and push up the water level.

You never put ice blocks into a glass of water? Did the water rise?

Dumbtwit...

Water expand when heated, like in the car radiator. When radiator cools down, the water level drop much much low.

Dumbtwit...

I would think for an island sitting on water, it would rise and fall with seawater level.

I think you meant floating on water? Are there floating islands? Really?

You are making the erroneous assumption that all the ice at the polar caps is floating in the ocean which is not the case.

 

[nayr69sg]

I am no expert but I read many reports that the amount of sea ice in the antarctic has increased by a lot and is increasing

http://www.antarcticglaciers.org/glaciers-and-climate/changing-antarctica/antarctic-sea-ice/

https://www.pnas.org/content/116/29/14414

And then there are also reports like this

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/...ld-cross-this-scary-threshold-within-40-years

“Rapid and unstoppable” sea level rise from melting Antarctic ice shelves and glaciers might be inevitable unless nations commit to even lower emissions—and fast, a new study says.​

Earth is flat, sure is... volumes of polar caps is constant but maybe other places are melting....

Not floating in the sea, but this island is supported by a water table.
