By the end of century, I will be seriously dead. Their threats do not scare me.
I am in Bangladesh working on a development project.
This is for those readers who have read alarming accounts of loss of land to Bangladesh because of rising sea level. Those alarmists were not aware of the significant seaward shift of the delta front that results from the enormous volume of sediment carried downstream from the Himalayan Mountains.
"However it is apparent that there are many other small, often informally organised, markets at
roadsides and in villages that have not been recorded. This is particularly true in coastal chars where land is emerging from the sea and being newly settled."
