Big Sea Level Rise
http://www.deeperblue.net/newsfull.php/1848
Amongst the non-mainstream news sources I adore is Deeper Blue, a site that focuses on news relevant to divers. This headline, “Big Sea Level Rise Forecasted” wasn’t a surprise, but it was depressing.
Here in the US, we’re still debating stuff like this… is it us, is it global, blah blah blah. It’s pathetic and embarassing, frankly. Especially when the rest of the world is not only talking about it as a given, but recognizing and publicizing that in fact, the rise is going to be bigger than predicted, people are already suffering for it, and it’s just going to get worse.
Learning to exist on a warmer, wetter world, is going to be critical, and it’s happening faster than the US media and government are willing to admit. Pay attention…
