Inside Climate News - Coastal communities in developing countries will be swamped by sea level rise sooner than projected, a new analysis of satellite data shows. More than twice as much land is vulnerable than previously thought. For example, the new data suggest that seas 6.6 feet higher would put most of Bangkok and its 10 million residents below sea level, contrary to previous projections that showed the Thailand capital would still be mostly above sea level.
