This is a case of a picture speaking louder than words!

Maldivian President Mohammed Nasheed did as he said he would (we blogged about it here). Dressed in scuba gear, he signed a document in Girifushi, Maldives on Saturday that calls on ALL countries to cut down their CO2 emissions ahead of the UN climate change conference in December.

The president of the Maldives and 13 other government officials each took their seats at a table on the sea floor – 20 feet below the surface of a lagoon off Girifushi.

The meeting was a bid to draw attention to fears that rising sea levels caused by the melting of polar ice caps could swamp this Indian Ocean archipelago within a century. [msnbc] via project90x2030

Don't forget this Saturday, 24th October – Global Climate Action Day

Dear World, this is an invitation to help build a movement – to take one day and use it to stop the climate crisis... 350.org, in partnership with others, is inviting the world to stand together as one planet to call for a fair global climate treaty.

Their plan: to get people in every country on Earth to organise an action in their community on October 24th

“If we can pull it off, we'll send a powerful message on October 24: the world needs the climate solutions that science and justice demand. It's often said that the only thing preventing us from tackling the climate crisis quickly and equitably is a lack of political will. Well, the only thing that can create that political will is a unified global movement--and no one is going to build that movement for us. It's up to regular people all over the world. That's you.”

350.org already has a plan of action for Cape Town – to find out more.
