A rainbow over #hcmc !! 🌈 #vietnam
@VietnamHotTakes Always just that sliver of sky that's visible in #HCMC #ViệtNam!
@EllenInEdmonton it’s not even rainy season! Freak downpours two Mondays in a row!
@VietnamHotTakes
The #ClimateEmegency is affecting the whole planet. I kind of miss that thunderous sound every afternoon around 1530 and all of the students running to the nearest window, shouting "mưa!" I don't miss trying to navigate the rivers on roads, though.
@EllenInEdmonton this is definitely a #ClimateChange situation. It used to be so regular, as you say!
@VietnamHotTakes
Yup, and HCMC will be drastically affected by #subsidence, "downward vertical movement of the Earth's surface, which can be caused by both natural processes and human activities". I hate to think what it will be like, even 5 years from now, with so many buildings constructed on wetlands and the city centre at only 5m elevation.
Bangkok Waits for Rain, by @pitchaya is an excellent, fictional read about the probabilities.
@EllenInEdmonton @pitchaya it’s going up n my list! Thank you!
