High chance of Bangladesh sinking under rising sea levels

[bindaas]

We have been hearing of this for several years now but but the Bay of Bengal has not risen 1 inch. I think its just all crap ......

I have no detail idea. But I read some where a panel came to a figure Bangladesh will require 30 billion usd in the next 20 year to fight global warming. So far they have asked 10 billion usd. I have started a thread 2 or 3 days back. Now it's a different story how Bangladesh will use the money after getting it. But it is good that free big sum money is coming towards bd.

I was talking about this....

Bangladesh has been facing a two-front calamity. One is ice melting because of industrialization. The other one is because of India. it has stopped water from flowing into BD. As a result of a slower water flow there are cases of silt accumulations and consequently the river beds are up. So, we will have to use that $10 billion to dredge the river beds and use this soil to raise the sea dykes.

Even before the ice melting starts at the poles in the next few hundred years, it seems India will ruin us within a short time by withholding our water. Seems the highlands of a beautiful Assam is the only gateaway for us.

That was not permanent land, most probably it is gone due to earthquake or Tsunami, not water level rising....

It submerged because of climate change. There was no Tsunami or earthquake when it submerged in the sea.

Talpatty has shown a big thumb to a greedy India. It has vanished in the water and will rise up again when we take our sea territory away from Indian claws in a UN verdict in 2014.

Hasina should play the global warming card and seek money from the developed world, I think she already has.

at last,some confirmation on the legendary "Indigenous remote controlled island sinking and rising up system" was tested by Bangladesh...

what you thinkin brah?

The Indians were the first to claim the island had disappeared. Has this been independently confirmed by any other scientific sources? -

In March 2010, Sugata Hazra of the School of Oceanographic Studies at Jadavpur University, Kolkatta, India, said that the island had disappeared and that sea level rise caused by climate change was a factor.[9] He said that sea level rise, changes in monsoonal rain patterns which altered river flows, and land subsidence were all contributing to the inundation of land in the northern Bay of Bengal.[9] Hazra said that other islands in the Indian Sundarbans region are eroding very fast.[9] The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has estimated that 17 percent of Bangladesh will be submerged under water by 2050, if sea levels rise by 3.3 feet due to climate change.[3]

Hazra said that due to global warming, temperatures in the Bay of Bengal area have been rising at an annual rate of 0.4 degrees Celsius and in the 2000-2009 decade, sea water level rose at a rate of 5 mm a year.[10] India is preparing to send a study team to physically assess the situation in the region.[11]

I read somewhere that the sundarbans will go under water, my dad and I are big time hunters. I have to get a Bengal tiger before they become extinct.

BD government knew it back in 1989-90. Government records of that time indicated that. It was not publicized.

Your are right,rather more and more land have been rising from Bay of Bengal.And i've read in a Bangla newspaper that within 10 years the total area of the new found land would be 1/5 of present day Bangladesh's.I've also read govt. is gonna make some huge Dam to reclaim more land from the BoB.

Old news but worth reading....

The earth has been these periods all throughout its history. In the 60s it was thought that the earth was cooling and now its warming, the fact is this global warming crap is nothing but a liberal propaganda to stop developing nations from growing. These polar ice melting theories are nothing but a guessing game.

Earth's Polar Ice Melting Less Than Thought - US News and World Report

It is not a guessing game, ice IS melting. The thing is, it is not news. My sister lives in Green Bay, 10,000 years ago it was covered in ice 2 miles thick. What happened? It melted! My problem is with people who think they can freeze the earth in a snap-shot of how it is now in the face of 100's of millions of years of climate variation and continent drift by chaining themselves to trees and hugging a bunny. ( I think climatatic scientist encourage this to get a chunk of that sweet funding that used to go to other branches like physics, now they are "sexy" too)
