Actually, i am an old fart, and never have been a fortunate son, so I have been there,(Camp Eagle, 101st Abn, 70-71) but I don't see how it is pertinent, other than much of the Mecong Delta is doomed to be submerged because of rising sea level.

I felt it was "pertinent" in light of the boy in question assumed to be my instructor in GLOBAL inclement weather. As if most of these knotheads ever been anywhere else. So I thought I'd bring up an extreme weather incident I'd experienced; being discovered and hunted by enemy cadre in the middle of a monsoon.....imagine if you will, (maybe you have, maybe not) being in a situation the NVA could be a matter of meters from you and you can't see your hand in front of your face from the rain. SE asia has been experiencing terrifying typhoons since the beginning of time....that's what the knotheads are now laying on us....just because the US has been abandoned by the predicted hurricanes, doesn't mean they're not someplace else, right? Wrong. I was pissed and had had it up to here with one-shot-wonders dipping their toe in a thread and vanishing, thinking they'd scored a point on me. I normally suffer fools fairly well....that time I probably didn't.
BTW, your article is 4 yea old and the Delta is doing just fine.
The article is pertinent to the subject, and pertains to both current, an future events. Ice has melted in the last 4 years, it will melt more, so sea-level will rise.
We share some common experiences from 45 years back. Would be glad to discuss them in a thread that is not about "current" events.
The ice field at and around the North Pole has DOUBLED in the last year. The oceans have NOT warmed, the predicted hurricanes that were to destroy Florida never came. And I don't really give a shit what thread I'm in to teach some truth around here.
