Question
How will countries like Bangladesh and Thailand be affected by global warming?
Solution
Climate change will cause the melting of polar ice caps with huge chunks of icebergs several kilometers across breaking off from the mainland. This is already taking place around the Arctic and in Antarctica. The result will be an increase in the volume of ocean waters. Countries like Bangladesh, Thailand, and Malaysia and the Southeastern parts of the USA like the States of Florida and Louisiana would be swamped by floodwater along its shores.
