An Open Letter to Those Living On the Ocean Floor

DEAR coastal dwellers, We at the ecological affairs and sightseeing department have recently read international reports stating that US researchers, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration at the National Centre for Atmospheric Research, have found evidence that the Artic Ice Melt will be complete by 2040.

We read the story in our local papers too but didn’t believe it because the media has a strong agenda against all government departments and we thought they were just stirring their usual nonsense. However, it now appears to be true and has been confirmed on three occasions by our esteemed deputy minister, who read the report in Australia, New York and Moscow during her round the world trip last week.

Our first bit of advice to you coastal dwellers is not to panic. As soon as we have sorted out where to put the Green Point Stadium, we will turn our attention to a master plan to move our citizens at least a week before New Year’s Eve 2039…
