Due to rise of sea level, a vast part of the country will go under water and many people will become homeless.

Untimely heavy rainfalls cause water logging and landslides.

Yes, I think so. It is because Bangladesh has already been experiencing the adverse impacts of climate change. Frequent floods, river erosion, crop damage due to drought, prolonged cold spells, salinity of water in the coastal areas etc. bear the testimony to it. The most frightening matter is that about 5.5 million people will be refugees if the sea level rises by only 45 cm.

Global warming and climate changes are not merely some normal changes of nature. Rather, they are signs that our planet is gradually losing its livability. We must fight against these changes before it is too late.
