And there are other cities which are exploring potential solutions, including Mexico City, which is sinking even faster than Beijing, at a rate of 28 centimeters per year.

But Mexico city starts sinking at 7,359 feet. Beijing is at 171 feet!

i’m ignorant on this subject, and many others :) How serious is this? Will it get much worse? Why isn’t it happening to us or is it? Is there a way to stop it?

This sinking phenomenon, called subsidence, has a number of causes.

crisis + scare tactics + exaggerations + dishonesty + disregard for freedom and natural rights = need for environmentalism, socialism, and other libtard solutions

Yo!

China is goin’ DOWNNNN!

[DeSoto]

You’re wrong, it’s guns. We need gun control to stop the sinking. I thing that it is all due to the lead bullets.

Sinking Feeling

Róisín Murphy

Deep in
Quick sand
You dive in
At the shallow end
You break your
Neck and
You’re never ever gonna get up again

The glass house that you lived in
Is deep in the quickening
Angels might call by
But fools they rush in
Bring some peace to your mind

For today is a new day
Here in my hand
Time is just sand
Fine lines of love and hate
There on your face

But I look at this way
In the next seven days
In the next
It might just change

How can I write
The story that
Went and wrote itself
Down on paperback
Called “the foutain of know thyself”

It’s a lonely book
Still upon the shelf
It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and ride
On the waves of a sinking feeling

According to some sites, Mt Everest is growing by about 2.5" a year.

On another front The 3 Gorges Dam, the largest in the world, the reservoir has triggered numerous seismic activity, because of the weight of the water.
