Reference: Bangkok seeks Dutch help to avoid sinking, Bangkok Post, March 17, 2009

Bangkok is sinking at about 2 or 3 cm per year and this phenomenon is blamed for the increasing severity of floods that occur when a rain swollen Chao Phraya River coincides with unusally high tides and it seems logical that Dutch technology would be applicable here because the Dutch know how to reclaim sunken land (Bangkok seeks Dutch help to avoid sinking, Bangkok Post, March 17, 2009). None of this has anything to do with global warming however, and it is curious to see global warming being invoked every time this issue comes up.
