Bangladesh, the most crowded nation on earth, is set to disappear under the waves by the end of this century – and we will be to blame. Johann Hari took a journey to see for himself how western profligacy and indifference have sealed the fate of 150 million peoplewent to see for himself the spreading misery and destruction as the ocean reclaims the land on which so many millions depend.

steve468, I like this story. An important story.  Every year, people living around the delta get washed from their homes.  News reports carry the stories and Bangladesh has to manage as well as it can.  We could do far more in the West to help, although the numbers of people involved are immense.
