印尼雅加达要被洪水淹没？
前两天，说到美国没脑明星，我还提到印尼，觉得能解释为什么有人会这么幸灾乐祸。。
今天看报纸，这就应验了。。
说真的，华人早点撤出来，然后淹了算了，就当某神发怒用水惩罚
apital of 9m at risk from flood threat
Thursday, May 29, 2008
Floods in city last year One of the world's most populous capitals is on the brink of being swept away by a huge tide.
Jakarta – a city of 8.8million people – faces the catastrophe as naturally occurring tide cycles in Indonesia are made far more destructive by human activity.
The dire warning yesterday came from the World Bank.
'This is just the beginning,' said Hongjoo Hahm, the bank's infrastructure expert, as he pointed to homes reaching 1.5km inland that look likely be affected on Tuesday and Wednesday by the 18-year semi-annual tide cycle.

'It's getting worse and worse.' The situation – exasperated by global warming and the fact that Jakarta is sinking up to 6cm (2in) a year – could mean flooding will exceed last November's roof-high levels in the hardest-hit areas.
Indonesia, a sprawling archipelago nation, is one of the world's largest contributors of carbon dioxide emissions, thanks to the rapid pace of deforestation.
But experts say the country is also at risk of becoming one of the biggest victims of climate change.
Rising sea waters especially pose a threat to coastal cities such as Jakarta, which has sunk at least 2m over 30 years because of ground water extraction.
Eventually, the government should consider building a Dutch-style dyke to protect Jakarta Bay, Mr Hahm said.
One reason for the high 18-year tide cycles was the combination of the Moon's gravitational pull and an anomaly in sea level caused by Earth's own atmospheric pressure, he added
