Malaysia and the Global Climate Change

Malaysia is without doubt a country that is surrounded by seas. The South China Sea and the Malacca Straits to be exact. With all the hype of global climate change what does that got to do with us being surrounded by seas if you might ask. Well, a lot since if the temperature of the world keep on increasing, sooner or later, the ice in the arctic will melt. The after-effect of that is the volume increase of sea water in the world. That would mean some of our Malaysia's land can be submerge underwater by 15-20 years time. Imagine in the future, there is no longer Port Dickson, Langkawi, Tioman and other fantastic beaches that we have. All will be gone by the time we declare ourselves a developed nation. Hmm.. a developed nation with 20% less land mass I suppose.


Just a block of ice but a deadly threat to our future

The climate change is not a conscious matter that we have the option to deal or not to deal with. It is deadly serious and will effect deeply in our lives and our children's lives if we fail to pay attention to it now. Live a more greener life and yes, one person can make a different.

It will also affect our neighbour S.pore and Japan(probably not, since they're so smart they might think of something.??),Philippines...
Where should we migrate then?To China?Any volunteers?

The global climate change is unstoppable.
No one really cares about it since it doesn't affect(?) the "rich" countries such as US.It's up to them to do something about it.(?)

Malaysians already have many problems to solve yet...(UMNO beruks, BN,...)

The change is unpredictable so we won't know what will happen in a few decades.

It will probably be like a huge tsunami erasing southeast asia from the map.(?)

Yes, I agree with you. This is a serious threat to our nation but our politician keep squabbling on petty issues. It is interesting to see the so called active debate in the parliament. If you look at the issues closely, the MP in the parliament is a typical reactive MP. They only react to issues once it have happened. Not before it would happen.
