It's true that the individual can do little about climate change.  But
it's also true that it is a very big deal indeed to the more than
200,000 people living in the Maldives, where 80% of the land area is
less than 3 feet above sea level.  They produce very little in the way
of greenhouse gases per capita and rightfully blame the rich countries
for the threat to their existence as a nation.  Oh, well.
