Sorry. For _all_ of Bangladesh to go under for good (except for the 
mountains in eastern Chittagong -- certainly not a place where you can stuff 
tens of millions of people), the sea level would have to rise by 6 m. That 
would require most of Greenland to melt. Sure, this has begun, but it's 
still going to take a few hundred years.

Still, a sea-level rise by 1 m would flood 10 % of the country.

Oh, and some say 146 million rather than 144.3.
