Sink Or Swim? Asia’s Sinking Villages Engulfed By Rising Seas | The Longest Day | Climate Change
CNA Insider 
By 2050, rising sea levels will flood 200 million people’s homes across the globe. For thousands across Asia, this is already a reality. In this episode, we travel to some of the worst affected places on Asia’s coastline, spending 24 hours with the families living at the whim of an unpredictable ocean. Every day, from the Bay of Bengal to Java Island, families are facing flooding, storms, dwindling fish stocks and waterborne diseases. From dawn to dusk, we witness the resilience of those fighting on the frontlines. Villagers build their houses on stilts, intrepid doctors travel on boat clinics, and families plant entire mangrove forests, growing natural sea walls on their doorsteps. For some, it is too late. We meet climate migrants working menial jobs Kolkata, forced to flee after their farm was decimated by floods. Every day, the tide rises higher, storms get stronger and oceans get warmer. Will those that live by the coasts adapt or are they facing a losing battle?

That's what overpopulating does!
We need to move to Another planet heheh
In the early 60s, as little kids, we saw bats in the hundreds, thousands even, flying over our small town in the interior of North Borneo. But now, no more, they are long gone, infact, they are no more to be seen even in the late 70s. Deforestation has caused their disappearance & if we're not careful, we humans might even be following suit..
She is taking back what is rightfully hers u didn't take care of it So u loos it' and that includes everywhere' u have taken all the fish from her rivers and left her nothing she has tried to show you how to do it but you have failed to see. You are breeding like flies and now there is nothing left to feed your wonderful children. You have failed now you pay the price'
She's a patriot. A silent hero. It's just sad that instead of fighting, all her neighbors chose to leave. There are places in this world were villages learned to live coexisting with wetlands and they still thrive. The only problem I see here is lack of awareness from everybody else. She is right about raising the house. You can't runaway from the problem. Might as well just face it. The reasons why rural areas are suffering is already clear. Younger people don't wish to continue what their family has started and chose an easier life in the city.
Cna, its not only in java island which is sinking, but the edge borneo island, especially in west borneo sea or edge of river are sinking because of heavy abration.
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that the bulk of the collective refuse to see what is happening, especially in the u.s.
At some point the masses will awaken to the same outcomes in their own lives. Indeed, it's sad.
NO living human has ever seen a sea level rise, a constant 2 inches per 100 yrs, We do know Java is sinking, that is not news.
The most devastating of all is the denial of climate change by people in the United States
Stop having kids will help alot for those who are in those flooded areas without food.
Maybe they could do what the Venetians did, ie drive logs deep into the mud to make a foundation.
In Bangladesh we have a huge amount of water, 700 rivers regular flooding title suggests constant cyclones and tornadoes and heavy rainfall, this makes the land one of the most fertile on earth but, it also flats two-thirds of the country in the monsoon
Sea level has risen about 3 inches ( 7.6 cm) in the last 30 years. Whatever is causing the problems in the Sundarbans it is not primarily sea level rise. This video does a disservice to the people there. At 25:51 we read that 'When the dam broke, a lot of people left the Sundarbans…'. A dam could mean that needed silt was prevented from reaching the Sundarbans. Then the dam breaking may have resulted in soil being swept away. The video tries to put the blame on climate change when much of the blame probably belongs elsewhere. At 36:14 land subsidence is finally mentioned.
This is very painful to watch from the beginning; my eyes are filled with tears watching my fellow humans suffering like these…please you people should move to save lives. I know is very hard to move but life is more important than loosing your lives when heavy floodtyphoon strikes
All of these people have seven, eight or nine kids or more and they complain their poor. Empower the woman so they are not just baby factories and things will change for them.
The Philippines is fortunate that they have a few hundreds of inhabitable islands, Manila is congested and 16 m below sea level, but cat5 Typhoons are becoming the norm due to climate changes , then we have floods and volcanoes and Earthquakes
Stop having so many children. Have only one baby.
Explain to me how the sea rises in one area and not another..B.S. scaremongering.
