Indonesia's Most Populated Island Is Slowly Sinking | The Longest Day

[@anthonybaransky137]

Most land does not sink. What is happening here is the ocean level is rising.

Yeah…I think they may have mentioned that, Anthony. Most of us actually watch the content before leaving know-it-all comments. Patience is a virtue.

I’m also from Canada but far from Rich by Canadian standards. I live below the Canadian poverty line in a wealthy country. But this is honestly horrible. When clean water is something you fight for and your home is constantly flooded nobody should live in these conditions.

... I'm not rich either - by CANADIAN standards ... but we're STILL not dealing with what ordinary Indonesians deal with ...

Parts of Jakarta sink up to 25 cm annually because of excessive groundwater extraction and urban development, Airlangga Hartarto, the coordinating minister for the economy, said.

Whether the land is sinking or the water is rising, it amounts to the same thing, and it's horrible. I'm Canadian. I'm far from rich but so much better off than these people. I'm embarrassed to be a part of the America's whom allow this to happen in the world in order for a few to become billionaires. Capitalism has to change or be stopped. It's disgusting.

... First comment on this video, and I've honestly got nothing worthwhile to say ... As a rich Canadian, what can I say ? No one should have to live like this, and Charity doesn't really do much to help MILLIONS ... This is an Aid issue, and that takes the effort of NATIONS, not just individuals ...

The capital city Jakarta is moving to Borneo or Kalimantan, as it is called in Indonesia. The new capital is called Nusantara. As far as I can make out, the people must fend for themselves. No worries regarding aid from abroad as the majority of the Muslim community is wealthy and they have their own charities.

What u see in the post is actually a result of earthquakes an plate tectonics. And over development

Where I live climate change has been wonderful. The rising sea level isn't going to stop in the near future. Don't send money to help these people send money to move these people.

It's wild to think the weight of adding humans to a landmass can make it sink

[@examinatorant4522]

What?????? You are aware that the earth is a closed environment, i.e. more people are created by using more resources the weight / mass is the same (not withstanding Meteors).
