Bangladesh could disappear entirely by end of century: NASA

Melting polar ice caps could cause sea levels to rise by up to 25 metres, causing Bangladesh to disappear entirely under water by the turn of the century, according to predictions of climate change by the US government's NASA space agency. One of the UK's prominent newspapers, the Independent, reported on Friday that the globally accepted models predicting gradual climate change could be underestimated according to Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
