Question

Also, in most areas, the underground water will be influenced and not proper for drinking and irrigation,, thus reducing fresh water dramatically!

Answer 2

I couldnt give a damn about the rich, i do however care about losing some of the worlds oldest and most beautiful cities. Rome, Venice, London, the white cliffs of dover, most of the low-lands and home counties, New York, San Fran..Tokyo obliterated, Sydney and Canberra submerged, Bangladesh as a nation eradicated...i think this is a tad more important
