Asia will have a climate change

Southeast Asia will have a climate change. The Asian Development Bank study focused on Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Those countries are vulnerable because they have large coastal populations facing rising sea levels. They also rely heavily on rice and other products. This could suffer from water shortages as well as floods. Vietnam was found to be the most vulnerable. If nothing is done to combat global warming, the report said that by 2100 the four Asian countries would see temperatures rise an average of 8.6 Fahrenheit. That's very bad. They would also likely drop in rainfall leading to droughts and more forest fires. This is more destructive than tropical storms and flooding from rising seas. This could displace millions of people and lead to the destruction of 965 square miles. Governments are working to lay the groundwork ahead of a U.N. conference in December. This is in Copenhagen that will try to draft an agreement on regulating carbon emissions. It would replace the 1998 Kyoto Protocol which expires in 2012. The key for Southeast Asia would be protecting its remaining tropical forests which have fallen victim in recent years to widespread illegal logging and the expansion of palm oil plantations. This is very bad. The people would have to leave the country or die. I hope they stop global warming.
