Global warming gets a bad rap. So what if oceans are drowning whole nations — we end up with super-cool floating golf and movable island resorts!

If your golf course floats, it’s still disaster tourism.

Who wouldn’t want the Indian Ocean as their front lawn? Can’t swim? Just grow gills, you silly human!

Heck, it may even boost tourism in the Maldives! Now that is (climate) change you can believe in.
