Bangkok is one of 13 of the world's largest 20 cities at risk of being swamped as sea levels rise in coming decades, according to warnings at the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change held here.


Environmental change, not climate change. The environment is changing. Bangkok is sinking. Some areas of Bangkok are already below sea level and its highest point is only 3.5 to 5 feet above sea level. The city sits on clay, clay that is being compacted by the haphazard water management of the bustling city and the fact that the natural drainage canals were filled in during the 1950s to make roads. Bangkok is sinking at a rate of 4 inches per year.


The article does admit that the sea level rise in Bangkok is about .1 inches per year, the same as the global average. As we have already discussed in a previous article, this rise is not above the normal expected increase. Sea levels have been rising since the last ice age, and there has not been any acceleration in that rate since the 1950s.


This fact doesn't stop oceanographer Anond Snidvongs from stating "There is no one single solution to respond to climate change", when it is clearly a change in the environment and not the climate that is leading Bangkok to disaster.


p.s. Where will bangkokian Thainese go?

At that time I ll donate these Thainese 200 kip

Highrise skytrain of course. It's already taken care of (for falung).

what good of a highrise when the foundation is underwater.

Assuming everyone on the griund floors can go back home to visit their mothers in the provinces, global-warming might see Bangkok become a new Venice for the arts and sciences, but not someplace you'd want to be driving a taxi unless you can row a boat or swim.

Khlongs is the word.

Adaptation is a lifejacket specialty you must learn or else drown without it.

heheheehe it is CURSE, they can fight with other races but they can't fight with nature, fate of thais is coming up.

me so solly.

my dad's wish is coming true. LOL

ROFL...

mmm Stay on the boat is not too bad. Especially for the new couple cuz the bed shaking and also the bed

Angkorian geologist knew all along. Do not build on Bangkok. In Khmer, Bangkok = stagnant pond.

Bangkok is mispronounced. It is only a small area called Barngkork in the Krungtep province.
In Thai, Barngkork = area of land, town or village, filled with Olive tree.

lol HAHA, Thailand is like a slowly sinking pirate ship. I used the pirate $hit cause Thai steals from their neighbors and spent a long time at sea so most of them had to resort to homosexual acts to get their jollies on.

Another one of your stupid remarks. Are you the descendant of defeated people who lost the war with Thai?

To claim somethings as the stolen goods, you are to prove allegations which are presented in a legal action.
The burden of proof falls upon you as the necessity of proof lies with he who complains.

So, I regard your remarks as false accusations.

Excuse me, sir. Are you saying Pirates don't steal?

Are you saying Pirates aren't homos?

We all know Thais are all those so what's the problem. That's more than a proper analogy.

Matter a fact, it should be the other way around....Pirates are like Thais.

I am saying that you are stupid and illresponsible for making false accusations.
Are you the descendant of defeated people who lost the war with Thai?

What's false about it? ok fine...not all Pirates are homos.

And it's a known fact that the Thai kings buried their fortune underneath Preah Vihear and Ta Moan, that's why they want it so bad.

Now, don't you find any similarities amoung your people and Pirates?

I am still saying that you are stupid and illresponsible for making false accusations.
You must the unfortunate descendant of defeated people who lost the war with Thai.
You are whining like the street puppy or a homeless bum.

So what is a good place for the new capital of Thailand when Bangkok is under water?

The new capital will be a good place on good location. We haven't name it yet.
May couple hundred years from now if human race survive that long.
