The effects of global warming and climate change will have a serious effect on Mauritius. The warming of the Indian ocean will bleach and kill the coral reefs located around the island. The coral reefs are one of the tourist attractions of Mauritius. There is also the likelihood of increased flooding of low-lying parts of the country, especially around Grand Baie.

See this 60 Minutes report on the Maldives, a similar Indian Ocean country, at the link below.

The Maldives will be affected because sea levels will rise due to thermal expansion resulting in floods as there, the land lies low. Initially they will be affected by storm surges which will flood their croplands with sea water, making them useless. Later the whole islands may be submerged.

Yes there is a climate change in Mauritius, due to deforestation in regions like Mare-aux-Vacoas and Grand Bassin. Rains are not coming and thus we are facing a severe drought.

True global warming does not decrease temperatures. So, either the model for global warming's effects is hokus-pokus, or global warming as presently claimed, does not exist.
