In 50 years Singapore will be under the sea

23 Apr. 2007

And in 30 years another country - Indonesia can lose about two thousands of it's islands. Such tragic prognoses were made by the specialists of these countries based on the research of the last ten years of the climatic changes in the region. As the found out - it became not more rainy, but catastrophically rainy. In the average on the resorts of these countries there is 12-17% more rainfall than ten years ago. And the process is increasing.

Parallel with the increase of the rainfall the melting glaciers are threatening to these countries. According to the latest prognoses, depending of the intensity of the melting process, the water level in the ocean can raise up from the minimal 18 centimeters to the maximum 6 meters.
