So Al Gore is full of shit, and Lee Hsien Loong this evening will also be full of shit.
I now think all this climate change bullshit is to distract from the real human related issues, things like sinkie overpopulation, and pollution, especially plastic pollution. Because there is no solution for human greed and selfishness.
Sinkieland is one Global Heating City with hundreds and thousands of machines working 24h to pump heat into the atmosphere LITERALLY! No other things these machines do besides heat the outside atmosphere! How about that?

The ND Rally is annual choreographed propaganda, a ritualized follow-up to the ND Parade, only good news and aspirational fluff qualify as content.

they are taking the sinking sg image on forum pages such as this seriously. more pumps will be built at the marina barrage not only to pump rain water but also sea water out. a seawall may be built along the southern and east coast to create a giant reservoir sextending as far as tekong. and more barrages and giant pumps built to control water level (guess the real intent is to have more reclaimed land). like that hosay liao. gdp will continue to grow, construction is perpetual (jack hammer and his team will continue to provide "music" to visitors and sinkies alike), imports of cement, aggregate, and sand will fatten those who deal in that trade, ah neh and bangla construction workers will be needed for the next 69 years (so are maids), crony contractors will continue to be employed and profitable, sinkies can go to sleep at night believing they will be high and dry, even for those who sleep in void decks. this vision will most likely be fulfilled in 69 years. pap truly plans ahead, well ahead of any cuntry. pap is da best!

small hills at Kaki Bukit and Frankel area used to fill up the current Marine Parade area back in the 70s.
Are we going to flatten Bukit Timah and Kent Ridge to fill up the eastern coast this time round?

can "steal" sand (and other minerals and soil material) from mudlaysia, cumbodia, indonesia, vietnam, and may be failippines too.

Singapore accused of launching 'Sand Wars'
Singapore has been accused of launching a clandestine "Sand War" against its neighbours by paying smugglers to steal entire beaches under the cover of night.
By Barney Henderson in Kuala Lumpur
6:56PM GMT 12 Feb 2010
The island city-state's size has increased by over 20 per cent since the 1960s and demand for sand for lucrative land reclamation and development projects is higher than ever.
However, recent bans on exporting sand introduced in Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam have cut off supplies and opened up a thriving smuggling trade.
Thieves have begun making night-time raids on the picturesque sandy beaches of Indonesia and Malaysia, carving out millions of tons of coastline and leading to fears of an imminent environmental catastrophe on a swath of tropical islands.
Singapore's land developers are now pitted against environmental groups, who claim several of the 83 border islands off the north coast of Indonesia could disappear into the sea in the next decade unless the smugglers are stopped.
"It is a war for natural resources that is being fought secretly," said Nur Hidayati, Greenpeace Indonesia spokesman. "The situation has reached critical levels and the tropical islands of Nipah, the Karimun islands and many small islands off the coast of Riau are shrinking dramatically and on the brink of disappearing into the sea.
"The smugglers have no problem getting it into Singapore and these boats are rarely intercepted by customs boats or the navy. The supply is constant."
Environmental activists claim sand smugglers visit the beaches of these islands during the night in small barges. They dredge the sand and then sail straight into Singapore port, where they sell it to international brokers.
They claim that while smugglers, corrupt politicians and land developers are profiting from the illegal trade of sand, activists state the cost to the environment is irreparable damage.
Mr Hidayati said: "The whole marine ecosystem in the areas where uncontrolled sand extraction is taking place is being destroyed – tropical fish species and barrier reefs are dying and the region's marine biodiversity is under threat."
The smaller islands protect the larger islands from storms and tsunamis.
There are also concerns that the ocean's currents are being diverted around Singapore's expansion into the sea, again affecting marine wildlife.
The Singapore government has declined to comment but corruption has been blamed for much of the trade.
Last month, 34 Malaysian civil servants were arrested for accepting bribes and sexual favours to facilitate sand smuggling to Singapore.
The main motorway from Malaysia to Singapore was blocked for most of the day last Monday when 37 lorries loaded with sand were abandoned after their drivers learnt of a customs operation at the border.
According to Malaysia's former prime minister, 700 lorries a day loaded with sand cross the border to Singapore.
Dr Mahathir Mohamed claims corrupt officials are allowing the sale of sand – even from tourist hot spots like the island of Langkawi.
"What these people are doing is selling a little bit of Malaysia, dig, keep digging Malaysia and give her to other people," he said.
In Indonesia, an estimated 300 million cubic metres of sand is exported illegally every year.
"Three years ago valuable sand sale was prohibited in Indonesia," said Syahrul Sampurnajaya, Director General of Foreign Trade, Indonesia. "Of course it (sand smuggling) is a big concern for us. Absolutely our military army is working to protect our environment. We are very concerned about large scale illegal sand mining causing environmental damage to our islands."
