They&#39;re on the front lines of the climate crisis and know better than anyone the consequences of not taking action. As President Nasheed of the Maldives has said many times, &ldquo;Our choice is between a <em>survival pact<\/em> or <em>suicide pact<\/em>. The difference is that <em>stark<\/em>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It&#39;s incredibly inspiring to see island nations continuing to fight for a real climate deal here at the ongoing UN Climate Talks in Bonn, Germany. I just ran into Ambassador Lima (pictured below) the Vice President of the Association of Small Island States, the coalition of island nations here at the United Nations, and he reiterated his support for 350 ppm.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/island_ambassador.png\" style=\"width: 547px; height: 363px;\" title=\"\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; line-height: inherit; text-align: left; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; \">Those of you who were following 350.org in Copenhagen may remember Ambassador Lima from a moving press conference during the final days of the negotiations. As he said at the time,<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We are not backing 350 because it&#39;s a beautiful number. No, it is because of science.
