Led by Professor Emma Hill of the Earth Observatory of Singapore, the documentary reveals alarming rates of sinking in cities like Jakarta, Manila, and Ho Chi Minh City, exacerbated by groundwater extraction and rising sea levels. It underscores the ocean’s vital role in regulating global climate and supporting biodiversity, emphasizing Southeast Asia’s unique vulnerability to climate impacts. The Earth Observatory’s advanced geohazard monitoring stations are showcased, highlighting efforts to track land subsidence and sea level changes. The video also discusses nature-based solutions to mitigate urban flooding and enhance coastal resilience, while addressing the increasing risks of intense storms and potential tsunamis.

The destruction of the planet and all life is from non humans
Those that war monger. Those who manufacture destruction, chemicals, diseases.
Those whose culture is greed
I live in Philippines since birth ,,it's Been that way.since birth..but manila still there
Way too many skyscrapers . That's a lot of weight coupled with rising water levels.
Remember in the Bible GOD, or Jesus stated that some land will be washed away.
Can we give all that water to the southwest? Part of the United States They’re running out of water, California, Arizona, New Mexico Nevada
John 3:16 For God so loved the wolrd that HmHe gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have an everlasting life God loves you
He gone dippit
is that because we have built over so much open land, that water can no longer drain away naturally as it used to ?
Car Parks.
Out of town shopping centers.
Tarmacing over driveway's. etc etc etc.
It all mounts up. ( pardon the pun )
All this talk..
It is almost pathetic.
It is actually very simple:
1 percent melt of our glaciers on Greenland and Antarctica will cause 65 ‼️centimeters of sea level rise..
And this is happening already in a growing pace.
We ( the global community) are late. Very late.
Large part of the future flooding events can not be avoided anymore.
I’m sorry.
😞
Cities are sinking and water is rising, double whammy…..
Isaiah 28:2,17-19,22. Matthew 5:17-18. KJV
We have drained the aquifers, and now mega tonage cities on top of unsuported ground is the result. Now rain and floods are making this unsupported crust soft and weak.
One day a very large city will just sink into the mantle, as it can no longer hold the weight, without the groundwater supporting the crust from below.
Today, this can happen over and over again with the damage we have already caused. We are in big trouble if the flooding continues.
Its not a race to find out , its inevitable now we will get a 67 m ish rise over the next Millenia . I asked google AI that as were clearly not doing the drastic changes needed what are the consequences ..you get a nice clear answer ..were fkd . You really do not need any tricky science , data centers , whatever to see this .
No. 1 solution is prayer…
If we made artificial inflatable mountains we could put rhe water on top of the mountains and it would freeze
The amount of water on earth has not changed since the very beginning.
Undersea volcanic activity, tectonic plate movement etc…has more to do with water distribution then weather.
Americans, a vote for Trump is a vote to accelerate the climate crisis. Be smart.
America's bad Position with Fast Rain and Stroms make peoples hard living over there
Climate Changing Affected Amercia Badly peroples life made Hard for living
This Climate Changing all of the Woerld not only few Cities what you saying
The earth is reacting to the complicated system of all things in unison. Dung man.
Florida needs drain upgrades
Thank you Sylvia Earle and Earth Stories. Here In Florida unfortunately we are at risk for sea level rise. In the FL Keys July 2023 we had a heat event that killed 97% of corals from bleaching. Ron Disantis our governor is a denier of climate change and took the word out of legislation. Education and protection is key, and the ecological principle "tragedy of commons" explains our oceans which are at risk. Facts are humans are creating the 6th extinction of our planet Earth.
Pause a minute, you dont need a research team i will tell ya how its all going to end just pay me
Stop wasting your time
Either cities must learn to swim or we are sinking into incorrect word choices.

Tropical climates pumping water from the ground, I’m missing something here.
climate will change certainly. This is God's blessing. However, the speed of changing is caused by earth's inhabitants themselves. Most of them just don't care on the climate change. Even people are destructing the natures.
Too much illegal removal of sand for the construction booms insatiable appetite for concrete. In southeast Asia they are illegally removing tons and tons of sea sand from sites hidden out in Indonesia's islands. Check out the slice documentary called Sand Wars and this episode will make much more sense! They have poor people from the Maldives selling their sand and then the Islands erode their surface sand. Its bonkers! Check out sand wars Slice documentary!
Keep believing that , losers 😂
Cities will disappear. Towns will wash away. Family and friends will die. The Earth is changing the landscape and our lives. Years of withering. The years of withering away 2024, 2025
