Floods Threaten Indonesia's Sinking City

JAKARTA, INDONESIA - NOVEMBER 24: A boy shows of a baby snake which he caught in the standing water at an abandoned factory in which there is a small community living November 24, 2015 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Jakarta, Southeast Asia's largest city is sinking slowly into the sea, largely due to overconsumption of ground water. Experts say that if nothing is done, the city's northern coast will be inundated with 5-7 meters (15-21 ft.) of seawater by the year 2080. The city has begun shoring up its sea defenses as increasing floods and severe storms due to rising temperatures and climate change threaten the mostly poor residents of Jakarta's northern coast with the loss of their homes.
