Bangkok is being expected to be under 1,5 meter of waters near 2030.

Better keep the doors closed, or the water might rush in! 1500mm in 23 years that's 65mm per year, must be up 130mm already.

So is there any current news on this? If it's rising 65 mm a year there must be some goverment activity.

Yes, its sinking. Yes, its very old news. :) Yes, the information about this changes depending on who is researching or reporting on it. :D:D

Couldnt happen quick enough in my opinion. :D

Not a chance. The Mayan predicted the end of the world in December 2012.

Yeah, that's right :) !, at least we had a TV barbeque party before that! :D

Maybe the Thais need to get with the Dutch on this matter.

Amsterdam also has similar problems.

Mayans are talking about a " Polar " change, so could this allready be on it's way? That's why the climate and sea levels are changing?

If that was the case Bangkok would be unterwater each Antartic summer when 30% of the ice melts naturally each year.

What about New Orleans?

What about Venice?

What about Amsterdam?

What about....oh forget it.

The reason that BKK etc are not underwater yet due to Polar ice melt is that almost all the ice that melts during the summer is sea ice and thus has negligible effect on sea level.

Bankokians will have to start worrying when or if the melting of glacial ice accelerates as predicted and is already being observed in many studies.

Yeah, it will be yabaaaa's condo.
