SwarnaDeep - Bangladesh's military training island.

Way to derail your own thread. Here's some reality check.

Kutubdia is one of many islands off Bangladesh and India affected by increasingly rapid erosion and some of the fastest recorded sea-level rises in the world. These "vanishing islands" are shrinking dramatically. Kutubdia has halved in size in 20 years, to about 100 sq km. Since 1991 six villages on the island of fishermen and salt workers have been swamped and about 40,000 people have fled. Like Hashem, most have relocated to the coast near Cox's Bazar.

At the current rate of erosion Kutubdia will be off the map within 30 years, along with dozens of other coastal islands. Sandwip, near Chittagong, covered 600 sq km 50 years ago. It is now a tenth of the size, its area having halved over the past 20 years alone. Further north along the Bay of Bengal, 12 islands – home to 70,000 people – are said by the Bangladeshi government to be "immediately threatened" by the rising seas.

What Guardian is not telling and what you chose to ignore is the fact that island formation is greater than island erosion.If 10 sq. km eroded away from an island then 20 sq. km raise in other island.This is how entire southern Bangladesh was formed over thousands of year.Even with all those sea level rising our land mass is still growing at a rate of 15-20 sq. km per year.Guardian have an agenda,they are a left wing climate worshiping media outlet trying to influence their govt. decision and you are just trolling here.

And India is more responsible for this man-made catastrophe that is making some islands throughout the world very vulnerable. Coal is fed into India's 39% of power plants which is devastating the atmospheric balance in our region. India should compensate for whatever loss BD may be facing.

Get your compensation first from China and US then (regarding how much coal they have burned). You aren't getting one penny form us.

Do you understand how CFD models regarding coal burning works (to have local environment effects)...and how much debate there is still there ongoing about this effect with relation to climate change overall (if rising sea levels is your concern)?
