Hundreds of millions at risk as river deltas sink faster than rising seas

This article left out the small detail that the deltas are also hugely important agriculture areas

* 4% of total food is grown in deltas

* Many countries in Asia and Africa are far more dependent on delta food production

So not only are the people living in the delta at risk, – so are the people who would maybe starve without the deltas.

Excerpt
*Using high-resolution satellite radar maps, researchers found that human activities like groundwater pumping, reduced sediment flow, and rapid urban growth are driving widespread land subsidence across 40 major deltas.*
