Not soon enough, accelerating "climate change"!

B. Live with the problem
. 1. Evacuate population from flooding regions
... a . Antarctic-Arctic melt will raise sea-level substantially
There is an estimated 100 meter sea-level rise, when combined with permafrost melt


. 2. Evacuate population from newly formed desert areas
... a . The non-flooded areas of the USA will become increasingly arid, prompting massive migration towards temperate Canada and tropical Mexico
... b . 1/2 of Europe gone and Russia will be almost completely submerged, Cuba, Ireland - gone ... along with many other countries and Island chains, forcing migration towards the newly-tropical Northern Africa. The Middle-East will most likely be transformed into a temperate, to tropical, paradise.
Strangely? Every major oil exporting country looks to benefit from global warming - except possibly England. (they will be about 80% submerged)

Almost the entire US Eastern seaboard will be gone, one notable exception might be Manhattan Island. They do have plans for massive dikes.

Deja Vu!
They should have put their plans into effect sooner ... hurricane-nor'easter Sandy just flooded, much of, Manhattan Island ... causing several Billion $ damage.

Superstorm Sandy damage estimated at $20,000,000,000 ... and rising.

After being flooded by hurricane Irene, last year, this might be ... becoming the new "normal" ... they might have to start construction much sooner than planned!

Considered as another "unique", "freak" weather occurrence, Sandy was a hurricane-tropical storm that merged with an arctic nor'easter to form a massive "occurrence" that covered almost half of the country.

Right now I am sitting near the center of the tropical storm remnant ... but almost completely surrounded by a perimeter of snowfall! ... ???

These "once in a Century ... freak occurrences" seem to be happening almost annually!

Sandy

Sorry, can't bite my tongue any more. +1 to the above. The personal attacks in this thread - by participants AND moderators - really turn me off and reflect horribly on the Two Spoke form. Ditto, though less-so, for the other thread BT referred to.

I wonder how many have read some or all of this exchange of diatribes and as a result left the site, or chosen not to sign up at all. It's one thing to disagree on basic facts and their interpretation. This jumps almost straight into personal attacks and impressive topic drift.

I'm frankly disappointed. What happened to respecting one-another as fellow cyclists first, as in almost every other thread here? We all spin cranks, even those who get an assist from batteries and non-biological motors. Might we please try to remember that, going forward?

I'm here to learn, contribute, and generally be a part of the really great cycling community brought together by the Two Spoke site. Personal attacks for any reason are not supposed to have a place here.

My $0.02.
