        It’s happening so surreally fast that rivers sometimes flow upstream, ordinary rains regularly swamp neighborhoods and buildings slowly disappear underground http://nyti.ms/2kyW4Yf pic.twitter.com/oAiAuL9OMM

        The main cause? Jakartans are digging illegal wells, drip by drip draining the underground aquifers on which the city rests — like deflating a giant cushion underneath it. http://nyti.ms/2p9oSeA pic.twitter.com/MoDXXq6BWz

        About 40 percent of Jakarta now lies below sea level, and hydrologists say the city has only a decade to halt its sinking http://nyti.ms/2kBUm8C pic.twitter.com/0LmtaiKT3N

        To keep Jakarta from ending up underwater, the city needs to stop digging wells and provide residents with reliable, clean water, and — at an untold cost of billions — retrofit the city with a sewer system http://nyti.ms/2kWHo4x pic.twitter.com/Q1k7E6RX8n

        What a difference in 60 years. "Kids,you eat your vegetables! Children in China eat all their vegetables. Then they grow up and become hoax specialists. That's according to our president. He surrounds himself with scientists and once in a while tells the truth.
