#China must hear #river warnings⚠️
"🇨🇳embassy's stmt poured fuel on fire. For >a year, #Thailand's #Pollution Control Dept repeatedly detected #heavymetals exceed'g #safety standards in te Kok, Sai, Ruak & #Mekong rivers. Contaminants hv entered te #foodchain..🤦♂️ Yet te embassy's stmt appeared to gloss over tis reality.. Thai local communities hv long qn'ed PRC's role in #rareearth #mining in 🇲🇲.. 🇨🇳's rare #earth invts hv caused environmental damage in neighbouring countries"

#SEAsia’s #Mekong River being poisoned by #rareearth #mining
"dd for fish is falling due to worries over #contamination of Mekong & its tributaries by toxic run-off fr Rare Earth mines upstream.. Rising demand for RE materials is driving an unregulated mining boom centred in #Myanmar to #Laos.. Mekong has long faced mounting pressures, fr plastic #pollution to #hydropower dams hemming it upstream.. experts warn tt toxic run-off fr RE mines cld pose an existential threat"🧐

A More Troubling Picture of Sea Level Rise Is Coming into View
Scientists have uncovered a “blind spot” in the research on rising seas, revealing that tens of millions of people thought safe from coastal flooding are at risk of inundation. Across much of the world, sea levels are higher than previously assumed and land is sinking faster.
By Fred Pearce • April 9, 2026
Excerpt: "The other new study focused on the world’s #RiverDeltas. It has long been known that many #deltas are sinking under the influence of #Groundwater pumping. But as Robert Nicholls, climate adaptation researcher at the University of East Anglia, notes, 'There have been lots of different estimates.' Data were inconsistent and based on crude, delta-wide estimates. 'Now at last we have a consistent data set, with high spatial resolution.'
"That data comes from Leonard Ohenhen, an earth system scientist at the University of California, Irvine, who used satellite-mounted radar to produce 3D maps of subsidence on 40 of the world’s biggest and most populous river deltas. He has found that subsidence afflicts more than half those deltas. Most startlingly, in 18 cases subsidence rates exceed those of #RisingTides — hence, more than doubling the effective yearly rise in local sea levels, and in some cases multiplying it tenfold.
"This again puts tens of millions of people once thought safe from rising tides this century in imminent harm’s way, including those living on the deltas of the #Nile in #Egypt, the #Mekong in #Vietnam, the #Mahanadi in #India, and the #YellowRiver in #China. If the current rate of subsidence persists, these areas will be flooded much sooner than thought.
"Researchers say many deltas and other low-lying coastal areas not included in the two studies are at greater risk than believed and urgently require detailed investigation of both actual sea levels and the rate of land subsidence."

Early on Don Det. Hours before the ferry to Cambodia.
So I walk.Mekong River. Lao kids running past. Cows in the road. Motorbikes whizzing by. Bronski Beat in my headphones.
A small girl mirrors my fast walk beside me — and I realise: that’s how I look.
A simple walk with music in a new country is anything but simple.
