THE MOST OVERLOOKED THREAT TO YOUR GRANDCHILD

What jolted me this morning was Straits Times' coverage of the LTA's raising of Nicoll Drive, a 1km long dual carriageway near the coast of Changi. 80cm was the height to be raised. 

This is meant to mitigate the impending rise of sea levels by the end of this century which is projected to be about 80cm. Tracts of lands would be lost, water catchments compromised by seawater...

You are not likely to face this phenomenon if you are in your 30s. Your children might even evade it. But definitely not your grandchildren. 

With this in mind, it would be prudent to make better choices in life. I wonder who's vested in properties near Changi, Sarimbun, Seletar or Sentosa?

In any case, do read the following for more info:

The word 'stave' is kind of strong?
