Becoming carbon neutral is i'm sure a great thing for the Maldives to be doing but i'm afraid a chain of islands are not going to be producing anywhere near the amount of carbon that the worlds superpowers are. Until we all take note and commit to some form of global action i'm afraid it won't make much difference and with the Maldives having the 'lowest high point' of any country in the world of only 2.3m then it'll be them who suffer first.
