Watch this video to see how global warming and flooding are combining to sink Thailand underwater. Experts say Bangkok is steadily sinking because of the amount of ground water pumped out from beneath it while some villages on the coast are already under water which environment campaigners blame on rising sea levels. See how global warming and floods work in this news video from Reuters.
