"Mr. President,
"You have recently held an undersea Cabinet meeting to raise awareness of the idea that
global sea level is rising and hence threatens to drown the Maldives. This proposition is not
founded in observational facts and true scientific judgements, Accordingly it is incorrect."

Head of Paleogeophysics & Geodynamics at Stockholm University, Sweden (1991-2005)
President of the INQUA Commission on Sea Level Changes and Coastal Evolution (1999-2003)
Leader of the Maldives Sea Level Project (2000 on)
