If you had any doubts about governments taking seriously the threat of global warming and rising sea levels, look no further that The Netherlands. See this link: Blub-Blub-Blub.
If over 66% of their population lives below sea level, and on the coast; what percentage North America's population is --- if not equally endangered --- at least have homes that WILL be compromised by rising sea levels?
Does the us.gov have any of that information available? Is it being made accessible to the people who live in those affected areas? Will we have to wait the the 2 1/2 years more until STUPID is out of the White House before anything proactive is done?
Fortunately, even Republican Governors don't plan to get caught with their pants down, while Georgie-Porgie spends the rest of his whatever clearing brush in Crawford. I haven't read it yet, but Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger seems to plan some sort of stunt in DC soon that will indicate what action California will be taking to deal with this over the next few years. I'm not talking just about reducing green house emissions; I mean in particular what they will do assist those who get flooded out. If the Dutch can plan for barrier islands to hold the sea back for a time, don't be surprised if San Fran has a similar plan.
So, perhaps we should just HOPE that the Congress will take serious action towards planning for the inevitable AS WELL AS circumventing as much future damage as possible. I think if they are proactive, they will have a less difficult task in keeping the Green-Peacers and assorted other Anti Globalization/New Lefty squads from gelding American commerce.
