Climate change as a matter of fact: Rising seas + draining underground aquifers = Jakarta disaster

Jakarta Is Sinking So Fast, It Could End Up Underwater.  (The New York Times, 12/21/2017)

In fact, Jakarta is sinking faster than any other big city on the planet, faster, even, than climate change is causing the sea to rise — so surreally fast that rivers sometimes flow upstream, ordinary rains regularly swamp neighborhoods and buildings slowly disappear underground, swallowed by the earth. 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. About 40 percent of Jakarta now lies below sea level.
