"Does anybody care if Bangladesh drowns?"

[Hillsillverr]

It happens every year, and it has happened for centuries! These fake ass crooks are making it sound like its something new..

[bombumdam]

nature has a was of cleansing filthy areas. can't take a shit in that country without killing 500 people lol.

[400bish]

At 3:10 that's an in-land flood and that has nothing or little to do with global warming/climate change. We could have prepared ourselves for this because we get the same amount of rainfall every year. In few decades time we will complain about droughts

[christoabbe]

no one cares for us. someone start a group or something.

[tummile1]

Fuck those people who dose not care about Bangladesh......X)

[Maj555]

no we dont

[ZeroHumans]

Soooo its' still a fact that the best solution is to spay and neuter all humans now. Much more humane and humans will never realize crime and greed don't pay. Animals and plants last forever, humanity is worth nothing and exists for a microsecond. You will realize it in the afterlife when humans are extinct forever.

[saharra22469]

You're the only one on this vid thread with any common sense or intelligence regarding subj. matter. It is of no use trying to teach them...talking to them...they will never understand....never "get it" as my dog does when we play that game. : )

[ZeroHumans]

Nope, wrong again :D Useless to explain stupid human why he's breathing oxygen. With no last 4 billion years you wouldn't have oxygen, forests, any of earth beauty to destroy or millions of species of animals that you like to torture and rip guts out of..or other humans Is that easier for your celled human brain? Who cares go kill a few thousand kids and die with all worthless human slime in 100 years. You LOST your wish to destroy other planets, why are you avoiding that fact lowlife human!!!

[ZeroHumans]

Only humans genocide, only humans say they're peaceful while they're torturing and killing hundreds of millions. HUMANS ARE PURE EVIL.

[ZeroHumans]

Even chimps which are too close to human have been around for millions of years before human. No 11 human style WWIIs moron, just an ecoystem. So you lose with that argument, go cry in your radiation.

[ZeroHumans]

You're a bitch so proud of your worthless race-normal for ugly humans. The more arrogant the more worthless. humans are pure evil and worthless. The only nice light in the nightmare of human is they will suicide in less than 2 hundred years, and earth still has a lot of time to come back. I know why you scream against bacteria because you're jealous of higher bacterial life >:) And you're a loser because your stupid primitve rockets will NEVER go to other planets to destroy and kill and rape >:)

[ZeroHumans]

What a stupid dirty lie from a stupid dirty human. Humans are destroying planet with pollution because humans are the lowest life ever seen in the universe and suicidal and very very greedy. Plants and animals spent 2 BILLION years making a balance sophisticate ecosystem before humans that dirty primitive humans are destroying in only a hundred years. You are worthless, you steal oxygen. One roach is worth more than a million planet destroying humans.

[ZeroHumans]

..humans aren't a life form. They're not too much different than rocks and so dumb they can't reach other planets to rape them. There are millions of planets populated totally by animals and plants but safe from primitive earth humans. I know that makes you humans frustrated so go cry in your beer >:)

[ZeroHumans]

sorry, didn't mean to insult viruses-viruses sometimes kill their host, but they don't kill the whole earth. animals and plants are way more intelligent, organized and noble than humans. Humans are just an accident >:(

[ZeroHumans]

Whats "altruism"? you mean killing 60 million in WWII? Or every human in Rwanda grabbing a machete and chopping each other to pieces? or do you mean humans raping the earth and torturing 100s of milllions of species a day for greed? riiiight, humans are so special *sarcasm* a plankton is more moral and intelligent than humans. At least plankton give back to environment and create oxygen for others. Humans breed like mutated viruses and choke the earth and will soon suicide in their own garbage.

[ElwynMaximus]

The rich will be ok, it's those without money, they'll be the ones to die and make room. Middle income persons will crowd together and become the new poor. This is our future.

[kanashta1]

nop

[akhan87]

personally, whoever uploaded this is a joke, i understand freedom of expression, but how can you not care if a nation requires help, who cares....about 160 million at least with at least 10 million worldwide, if you had to live in those areasyou would understand, illiterate dick headson here who dont have a clue can have their opinion, if they don't care, then i won't care and let it effect me. bengal pride always, mirpur 1 dhaka

[yallneedtosmokeweed]

bengal pride???? wtf? anywasy, no, no one cares

[discoinfern0]

nothing to do about it

[Savehumanrights]

All good people care. First find the facts.

Millions live on a river delta in Bangladesh so thousands of people are killed in floods every year. It is fertile so they live there. Using the climate change conn is the best way to get funding and help from the west. So lets go along with the conn to help the people.

The west will love more low payed slave workers paying Tax and bank Fees.

[nahyar123]

bengal pride boi

[yallneedtosmokeweed]

hahaha bengal pride? what the fuck? pride in what? the local candy store/gas station? oh my bad- its the ice cream truck gang, isn't it?

[nahyar123]

y do we get dick heads like u tryin to steriotype bengalis. its a fuckin job u twat, people makin a living, im proud because bengladesh is where my family came from, its my heritage, dicks like u may 4get their heritage but i dont.

[BDGangsta314]

i care

[LIL2REDD]

fuck yall...

I CARE ABOUT BANGLADESH!!! bd pridezz

[Gjartsito]

Bangladesh havent done anything to prevent climate change, so whats all this talk about bangladesh? Crying rasists to other countryes wouldnt prevent the ice to melt I think, could be wrong thou, :O

[tanzil]

Bangladesh's greenhouse gas emissions are NEGLIGIBLE. It's a predominantly rural country where one in every thousand people owns a car. They don't CONTRIBUTE to climate change, so therefore there's nothing more can they do to COMBAT climate change! And yet THEY are facing the brunt of the complications as a result of the carelessness of first world industrialized nations!

In future do your research before making aggravating statements like this that helps ignorance to flourish.

[Gjartsito]

climatchance doesnt only come from thouse who own cars. What I'm talking about is the goverments contribute to reduce the emission from facturys and general industry. EVERYONE must help with facing our new crisis. Not only the vestern countryes. EVERYONE has a responsebility, no matter how poor they are. There are rich ppl. in Bangl. that owns factorys. Rich = cant afford to invest in climate friendly industry? Gov. can force all owners to invest in that, but do they?

[Tagger24]

@tanzil trolling trolling trolling spamming flamming rawr trolling you

[InFN0]

Bro , the main reason of global warming is mass carbon dioxide explosion , or WARS. After wars come extensive industrialization which puts out carbon dioxide . The first world countries are to be blamed here , for them we have to suffer. And also , the government of bangladseh has taken various steps in preventing global warming , but there is actually nothing much for us to do, the first world must take its blame

[sushantaa]

Thanks.

[elbabun]

Sad jokes...

[naim5636]

I hope Bangladesh will live. We have to know, how much deep will it be if it becomes a sea. if it is shalow, then we can follow Venice, build cities on the water, use boats for transportation and for livelyhood? We can build industries , export poducts and import food. Electricity? Use wind mills, neuclear, imported oil,gas (?)and solar systems, battery operated generators(?) or import electricity. That will be a thing that George Orwell could'nt even think. Now how was that?:)

[SteveWrathall]

Floods are a natural part of Bangladesh's ecology. It's how the country was formed.

[manolis1080]

What Bangladesh needs is to tackle the the problem of floods with massive publicly and privetly fundeted projects like Dams on rivers , villages being removed to safer areas etc and what ever is needed in order to reduce the dangers to the pupulation and to farms homes and property of the people , unfunturantly that all needs alot of money and perhaps international assistanse

[elbabun]

Will you give $ for those projects? US/EU are saving $ and the cost is on poor countries. It is the way the whole world sees it except republican voters in US. I do not even want to go into their "messianic" ideology... and in 21st century... it is like a joke.

[manolis1080]

i think that blaming the unclear not fully undrestood yet "climate change- greenhouse efect " for the natural phenomenon of annual floods in bangladesh is really wrong and misorientating!

[elbabun]

It is not only Bangladeshi position - most scientists in the world (those who publish in pier reviewed journals at least) are of the position that climate change is caused by industries of Western Countries ACCUMULATED over past 100-150 years. Drastically increased fluctuations in weather patterns and increased water levels are product of almost any climate model and it is what is affecting low laying countries, including Bangladesh.

[livinginlux]

What a horrible tragedy just waiting to happen.

He's exactly on point about the West...we are acting as if we can buy our own way out of natural disasters and we don't give a shit about anyone else.

[winter32842]

Bangladesh needs to BUILD a wall now with the latest technology; this will prevent water from taking lands.

Bangladeshi please spread the word other Bangladeshis. We can't waste any time. Bangladesh must spend all its money on this wall. It is about survival.

If something like this were happen to Western country, everybody would be talking and living in fear and they would come up with something out of box.

BANGLADESH NEEDS A SOLUTION NOW, OUT OF BOX.

ACT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

[dynamoehummm]

Hold on.. I'm now old. But I was taking classes in college regarding the Indian subcontinent. I remember my dravidian saying Bangladesh as the Largest Poorest country in the world. Flooding, and death, was nearly yearly if not annually, so 4 minutes or so they mention this, and then its additionally worse because of warming. But it seems to jump the warming train and many will be left with that is the main problem.

[dynamoehummm]

[con't]

Now the west question. I think I said it before. Its the largest poorest country in the world. That same professor dryly made a funny, "in developing(sic) countries, it is said that the only recreation, is procreation." And thats the ugly truth. High birth rate, annual flooding admittadly getting worse, and some of the poorest of the poor. Didn't it use to be east pakistan? Has Pakistan shown any care or concern? I do care, but it seems an almost impossible position.

[rogeriopanga]

brasil...brasil...paz...terra abençoada!!!!!

[InTheDetails]

I'm glad he mentioned the Canadian Prime Minister. So many of us are disgusted with him for his position that Canada won't do anything about its greenhouse gas emissions until everyone else, like India and China, do first. In fact, our environment minister actually walked out of the conference at Bali. The government's position is so unhelpful that people around the world, like Mr. Chowdhury, are pointing it out. I hope that Canadians remember this in the next election.

[whodatmonkey]

Maybe they should get help from friendly India ..who helped in past screw ups......

[worldofurin]

isnt blangladesh in iraq? they have low water... they have to dig deep to get water.... so if they drown... they dont have to dig for water

[CalicoGal]

zomg look at an atlas fool

[mahmood4820]

Hei stupid look at the map

[8data]

The worlds poor are most adverserly affected

Cities cannot sustain

[8data]

everyone cares about Bangladesh

Microfinance

Sweat Shops

we are fucking up the world people

act now

[sa194000]

The machine produces much too fast, and brings with it a sort of economic system which I cannot grasp. I do not want to accept something when I see its evil effects of global climate change which outweigh whatever good it brings with it.

[sa194000]

To become industrialized like England and America is to find some other races and places of the earth for exploitation. So far it appears that the Western nations have divided all the known races outside Europe for exploitation and that there are no new worlds to discover.

[sa194000]

The economic imperialism of a single tiny island kingdom (England) is to day keeping the world in chains.Industrialization on a mass scale will necessarily lead to passive or active exploitation of the poor countries.What is industrialism but a control of the majority by a small minority? There is nothing attractive about it nor is there anything inevitable in it.

[sa194000]

All the graces of life are possible only when we learn the art of living nobly. Whether such plain living is possible in the face of a world armed to the teeth and in the midst of pomp and circumstance is a question open to the doubt of a septic. The answer is straight and simple. If plain life is worth living, then the attempt is worth making.

[sa194000]

The future of industrialism is dark.I do not believe that industrialization is necessary in any case for any country.High thinking is inconsistent with complicated material life based on high speed imposed on us by Mammon worship.

[sa194000]

Industrialization is, I am afraid, going to be a curse for mankind. Exploitation of one nation by another cannot go on for all time. Industrialism depends entirely on your capacity to exploit, on foreign markets being open to you, and on the absence of competitors.

[TheRealNews]

The Real News will remove any comment that uses offensive or discriminatory language. Respect each other and the space. Thanks

[minstral2]

It is not the western people that do not care, but the politicians in control. We cannot get rid of them because the Western Plutocrats or Oligarchy, control the political spectrum and wealth. It is going to take a world wide revolution to remove these monsters that are killing our planet.

[ik9111]

my mother land is bangladesh i was born in london it's true no one cares as it looks like the media dosent give a crap about it and no one talks about it abd no actions are being taken

[koolyman]

It's because Bangladesh is 'small and insignificant' to the western countries. Hurricane Katrina had a smaller death toll and not as serious damage to the Bangladeshis and yet Katrina gets more publicity.

I feel muslims are being targetted directly from Bush.

[HOPERAL]

Why dont the international community just contribute to building some damns for bangladesh, which will provide a long term solution, rahter than dish out millions in flood aid every few years?

[sylhet81]

I care, we care and 140 million human care. Now it's effecting bangladesh tomorrow it will effect others.

[flyingphtm]

WOW my hats off to you REal news for coverring such humane issue that western world ignores

[eropa11]

They need more floods to reduce its massive population. The country is bursting from seems with people.

[pronatalist]

To eropa11:

No Bangladesh does not need more floods to reduce its massive population. It's wonderful for countries to be bursting at the seams with people, as more and more people would be glad to live, so I have long advocated large families worldwide.

There are ways for humans to ADAPT to being so numerous, dams and such can help control floods somewhat, and homes can be built up higher on stilts, or land can be filled in to a higher level above the water. People can live somehow wherever.

[32oz]

Unfortunately, massive shifts in population is usually followed by conflict...ethnic wars...damn. We are watching...

[kuwiguy]

NO we don't care we've got our own problems over here in the U.S. you deal with your problems and we'll deal with ours.

[fabregatoribio]

wow good thing i live in high ground! no just playing when i return from my tour from korea im thinking of buying a hybrid or some other kind of green car, i dident know it was this bad doh.5 star video!

[holdingcompany]

no, they don't

[RustyShacklefuurd]

its not that no one cares...its that no one knows...North American media...American especially does a terrible job of covering thes kinds of issues. but its not shown intentionally so..get more people watching the real news.

[ahmedfahmida]

yes i totally agree with you...though because my origin is bangladeshi i am aware...though i know that no one really knows how badly it is... i have seen it in bangla news its very tragic! in england it has shown news on bangladesh flood situation...but really not enough coverage... in bangla news it shows the stress of people and exactly how bad it is...they need to show this internationally to obtain help!

[pongman]

People need to stop fucking. There are six billion people in the world. This planet cant sustain that many people without affecting the earth's resources, and environment. The planet is doing what its suppose to do and that is correcting itself by destroying the human population either by massive flooding,droughts, tornadoes, forest fires, earthquakes, famine, pestilence, or viruses.

[RustyShacklefuurd]

so what the planet is thinking for itself?

[pongman]

Well, its the balance in nature and the earth corrects itself when there is an imbalance. For example Plagues and Locusts; they are both destructive to humans and plant life. However they go through their cycle and eventually humans develop an immunity to the bacterium after ten of millions are killed. Locust eventually die off as well until their next cycle.

[Godoffuckingwar]

Nope your wrong dude! thats what the contollers want you to believe. If that was true don't you think the earth would start to heal herself by destoyong her viruses like NorthAmerica etc.. do some research on HAARP technology & man made viruses or what the the United Nations was really created for. You better wake the fuck up bud cause some serious shit is about to go down. do you think 4-u, or has someone else written your lifes script?

[pronatalist]

To pongman:

No, people should go right on fucking naturally. More people should be welcome to marry younger, and more babies welcome to enter the world, faster and faster, as the numbers of women of childbearing age naturally rises throughout many regions of the world.

Where can we put the additional billions to come? Simple. Where we have always put them. In between all the people already living. Humans CAN populate even denser and vaster. Why so many? Every human life is valuable and sacred.

[pongman]

Oh sure makes sense. That's why we have poverty, famine and starvation. You would have to be heartless to think that watching children starving to death is so satisfying. There needs to be birth control so that these babies don't die.

[pronatalist]

To pongman:

Isn't it liberals even, who say you can't stop people from having sex? Married people are certainly entitled to fuck naturally, even if they happen to live in supposedly "overcrowded" countries. I have some book by P. J. O'Rourke, All the Trouble in the World, about the lighter side of overpop and other things. He visited some crowded poor city of Bangladesh, found the people pleasant people and children. I think he said they marry as young as 13.

"Birth control" is so anti-babies!

[pronatalist]

To pongman:

There are so many practical and religious reasons, why those people, and why Catholics, and why people of faith, and why I, do not believe people should use, or were designed to use any means of unnatural "birth control." I don't believe people should be treated like lab rats for experimental Big Pharma's shoddy contraceptive potions and poisons.

If we are to be pro-babies, pro-children, pro-life, pro-families, then people should be urged to pair up and marry, and push out babies!

[pongman]

I'm sorry but I don't enjoy watching babies starve to death or for that matter animals. And that's what happens when there is a lack of food.

[pronatalist]

To pongman:

But feeding people, makes more babies. People naturally convert food into additional human bodies. Food isn't merely for selfish comfort, but for natural conversion into additional human bodies

More people to feed, does not make hunger, for there are already multiple ways to go on producing food in ever greater abundance

More and more people would be glad to live. Most everybody wants or ends up having children. To support freedom, let humans populate vaster, denser, bigger cities

[pronatalist]

To pongman:

Large populations have helped to reduce poverty for quite many people. Babies are good for the economy, and having so many people around with so many needs, are great for creating profitable business opportunities serving those needs and wants.

A world growing ever denser with people, brings the jobs of the growing cities closer, and connects up more people to the power grid, as small villages then become less isolated as pops grow.

There's a reason they call it NATURAL increase.

[bapyou]

I would be wary about assuming that climate change is the reason that Bangladesh experiences flooding. Look into the history: Flooding has occurred in Bangladesh for thousands of years because the majority of the country lies near sea level at the delta of the Ganges and Bhramaputra rivers.

[kkob]

STRONGEST cyclone in their HISTORY. Get it? Maldives: going under. Carterets: Going under. Get it? Half the Arctic ice melted this summer. Get it?

[bapyou]

Yes. I get it. Do YOU get MY question? What was the strongest cyclone in Bangladesh's PREHISTORY? And in what way is a cyclone's strength measured? No one can say if there hasn't been a cyclone as strong in the past. Also: You appear not have read my post; you merely reacted to it. Whether or not a cyclone comes ashore, due to Bangaldesh's low elevation they annually experiences flooding.

[drukavanagh]

The earth is over populated and there are places that people should not live that they are living. This is fact and maybe if they drowned we could help the overpopulation problem.

[pronatalist]

To drukavanagh:

"It is high time to accept as forever gone, the sparsely populated world of the past, and to move on in an orderly transition, to the populous world of the future." Pronatalist

Either we curb birthrates, or find more places for more families to live, somebody said. Why is it not far more obvious, that most people would naturally prefer the latter? So let people overspread the land, and live most anywhere they want or can. Humans can and do ADAPT to having grown so very numerous

[ZeroHumans]

All humans should be spayed and neutered. They are worthless and they're a cancer and virus on the earth.

[jam112574]

Move to higher ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zomgzonoz]

You are retarded. 150 million people live in Bangladesh. That is over twice the population of the UK, or about half the population of the USA. Do you think that 150 million people can just pack up and move to their relatives house on top of a mountain? Bangladesh isn't the only low lying place in the world either.

[kkob]

This is why climate change is truly a big issue. And let them think this is just Bangladesh. As Greenland melts, Florida, NY City, New Orleans... Snow pack provides water for much of the Western US. It's melting. Water is already a problem there.

Wake up, people.

[JixMa]

Wow! Thank you, RealNews. Another great one!

[stang46l]

Looks like we need an operation waterwing drop.

[projectdurden]

Would Bangladesh care if the United States drowned? No, no one likes rich people.

[trakkaton]

Hahahahaha!

What the...?

Hahaha!

[brotherjupiter]

Ban Islam in non Islamic countries.

Solves one big problem threatening the age of reason.

[JixMa]

[1]

You know, I agree with you to this extent: that most religions are a bunch of hooey and bullshit. Religion is what there was before Science to explain what all the incomprehensible natural phenomena were. There's really no excuse to cling to such old-fashioned belief systems in the Age Of Reason.

[JixMa]

[2]

On your point about banning Islam, yup, I do agree with you. And while we're at it, let's also ban the bullshit cults like Scientology and Mormonism, too. Cults, fringe religions and even mainstream religions to some degree, twist people's minds into believing that there's something up there in the sky that will solve all their problems, if they just get down on their knees and pray to it, rather than using the Human mind to solve problems here practically and for real.

[JixMa]

[3]

Religion is a crutch that keeps us lame.

Science could give us a paradise here on Earth! Make everybody's lives better! It could lessen people's toil and struggle, eliminate disease, poverty and hunger. If all the efforts Man spends on developing weapons for war, were spent on improving life here for his fellow man, he could make Earth the paradise that many seek and hope will be there when they're dead and gone.

[theBigTakeover]

Bangladesh drowns every year.

[MarssundanceMandarin]

its true

[trakkaton]

Yes, but maybe you missed the "on a unprecedented scale", "more often", etc.

[ThumperBunny43]

Paul Jay has it wrong - there IS a US presidential candidate who cares immensely about global warming: Dennis Kucinich. Kucinich is also trying to get Vice President Cheney impeached. He's the best candidate!!!

[happyprometheus]

complacency does not serve us well...

we are all inteconnected

[Waldemar3]

Oh we'll care...once we discover oil there.

[brightlights23]

very interesting. I like how the political implications of climate change were put into context here.

[dominican1000]

i care, i wont like to see people suffering and dieying, im a guy that cares alot for humanity, even thought i dont know millions of them..

[DRockMonolith]

its a travesty that the amount of aid they need is only 1% of my country's military budget...

[hajqbvii]

We can't even get our gov't to care about the poor in the USA much less the poor souls in Bangladesh.
