As millions of Americans struggle to stay in their homes, there is a
group of people whose mortgages we cannot adjust out of crisis.
I’m speaking of the people who inhabit the Maldives, an island nation consisting of twenty-six atolls and over 1,000 islets.
250 of the islands in the Maldives are inhabited by humans but due to rapidly rising sea levels, Maldivian citizens may soon find themselves foreclosed by global warming.
Mohamed Nasheed, the new president of the Maldives, knows that this
is one foreclosure the United States government can’t revise the terms
of.
A long time ago in a far away place, long before the advent of the
internet and telephones, the Witchdoctor of the tribe was not only
responsible for curing medical ailments, but also for climate
prediction.
Under the pretence of “throwing the bones” the Witchdoctor would
claim to know if it would be a sunny day or if a storm would be on its
way. He had a 100% track record with his climate predictions, but it
had nothing to do with throwing the bones. The modus operandi of the
Witchdoctor was to run 20km every morning to the top of the mountain to
see if there were dark clouds or clear sky. If dark clouds were brewing
he would run back to the village to “throw the bones” and proclaim that
a storm was coming.
The tribe and chief praised him daily for his accurate predictions and the Witchdoctor loved the attention he was getting.

This video only had three views on YouTube when I dug it up and posted it, so let's give this kid some support.
