Sea level rise and Bangladesh
Climatologists predict that in the middle of the next century, the temperature of this earth may rise by as much as 4 degree Celsius. This could catastrophically reduce food production, destroy or severely damage wildlife, raise sea level and thereby flood coastal areas and farmlands.
The alarming news about Bangladesh is that due to the rise of the sea level, the lower southern part of the country may one day go under water. The main reason for global warming is carbon dioxide gas produced by the burning of fossil fuels and forests, and the pollutants such as methane and chlorofluorocarbons.
We can minimise it by raising public awareness.
