The threat of rising sea levels: Climate change | ST Connect Webinar | The Straits Times

Показать описание

Globally, sea-level rise is increasing at a faster pace, threatening Asia's coastal megacities and low-lying island nations such as Singapore. To discuss this urgent issue, this webinar by The Straits Times will look at the latest science and projections of sea-level rise and solutions, including nature-based options, to hold back the seas.

Join climate change editor David Fogarty and the panel of experts: Professor Benjamin Horton Director of the Earth Observatory of Singapore at Nanyang Technological University, Dr Zeng Yiwen, Senior Research Fellow at the NUS Centre for Nature-Based Climate Solutions and Ms Hazel Khoo, Director, Coastal Protection Department, at PUB.

This is the first of the monthly ST Connect Webinar series helmed by The Straits Times' journalists on topics ranging from climate change to geopolitics and media literacy.

very sad and totally disappointed at your team poor foresight and mismanagement on handling the the covid pandemic .
Singaporeans have making following your restriction for more than 1 year and punish by you (the govt) if we fail to adhere to your covid rules and yet your team has fail miserable to control the import of covid cases. If you have follow New Zealand, Australia and Isreal to close the border, Singapore would not be at the stage still struggling to contain the covid from spreading in Singapore. If construction manpower is one of the key issue for the delay for the construction project completion, then you should temporary stop foreigners from buying houses in Singapore for at least 2-3 years until the local demand for houses and met. Any reduction in foreigners and PR purchasing the houses during this period whether big or small in volume could have help all Singaporeans or at least it could prevent the fear that Singaporeans are facing that foreigner and PR ate still competing for houses

All hypocrisy....First thing you need to deal the roots of the problems. We are not scientist but we know what is the problem.First the fashion industry where to plant a lot of cotton and the effects makes the land very dry. Materialism that allows the country to manufacture cheap clothings and those countries don’t allow the clothings to be recycled or sell to other countries because their business affected.

Second the appliances. Now they are manufacturing electrical appliances very cheap like disposable and what about the waste and the carbon dioxide produced to manufacture all those cheap products?

Many many things that contribute the global warming. You can’t solve unless you will deal with the root which is greed of doing business. Let’s go back to live a simple life.

Also too much of people breeding a HD many people to feed that drain the resources of the earth can produce..

Unlimited problem...Prevention is better than cure...

Our longkang floods due to sea level rise or not? I think so you know? We must impose carbon tax now

Is this a scientific discussion or just propaganda? Shouldn't there be two sides for and against instead of one-sided panel?
This is poor science.
