[News] $100 billion to keep our ass dry (by @ace108)
In the National Day Rally speech by the Prime Minister of Singapore yesterday, one of the thing he mentioned was it will cost $100 billion or more to protect Singapore against rising sea levels. It seems we have a new enemy to fight: rising sea level. This is one of the news regarding that:

Now, I'm curious knowing Netherlands (or more so Holland as I know when I was studying Geography when I was in school) has land below sea level. How much did they have to spend to keep their ass dry. I did some search and come across this:

Billion dollars.

Looks like we going to have to spend massive construction dollars over the next few years to keep ourselves dry. Is that why Marina Bay Sands built a big boat more than 50 floors high. :-) .

🎶让大家继续读的时候，欣赏一点音乐。这件作品是维瓦尔第的“四季”的一部分 - 4小提琴协奏曲中的第一首，名为“春天”。

heh, Interesting :-)
Well, it is kind of the global problem so I'm not sure how many countries are going to have the same problem.
Many problems are not problems. They are simply declared as such. It all comes down to money.
Money cannot solve all problems but without money you have more problems without solution.
I agree.
But I meant a little different. Some problems are specially created. Just someone wants to make money on them. Arms race, azone holes, global warming, global flooding and so on. Crowd control method.
Yes, i think i know what you mean.
Southern Florida/Miami has the same issues. It is very worrisome. And will be very expensive.
Hmm... maybe Disney can chip in to make sure Orlando doesn't go underwater.
Ha! Maybe it will give Orlando some beachfront property and Disney might like that!
