It's one thing when Miami Beach gets flooded. As you said, it's a small wealthy suburb, and it can afford to protect itself against rising sea levels. On the other hand, the entire country of Bangladesh isn't much farther out of the water than Miami Beach. If you think the instability in Syria is bad now, what will happen when a country with literally ten times as many people becomes uninhabitable?
- CapitalistCartr 11y agoSyria is bad because of their location, and the interest of major powers. Unfortunately, unless China and/or India take an interest, Bangladesh lacks the money or military power to do anything to disrupt the rest of the World. We can sit back and ignore them dying, and I'm afraid that's what we'll do.
