I'm pleased that Bangladesh is receiving help but, regretfully, it is going to be paid for by the British elderly & disabled.

The G8 incl UK could probably do more for Bangladesh and other places that feel the effects of climate change by actually cutting their carbon. This is somewhat helpful, but is kind of like the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.

Unfortunately a good portion of Bangladesh is on a subducting tectonic plate...
THAT MEANS IT'S SINKING.

I'm awfully glad that the people trapped there by poverty are getting help, but the solutions have to be based on the reality that the land is sinking.....not that the sea is rising because of the climate.
