From above:
"But sea ice that forms later and melts sooner because of higher temperatures has left the community unprotected from fall and winter storm waves and surges that lash coastal communities."

Hey, I know the name of great seawall contractor.

Maybe we could join in the lawsuit here on the gulf and use the money to buy out some of the private beaches.

Hey Skunky...how in the hell did our greenhouse gases get to Mars? I knew that NASA was up to something!!:funn:

should we look forward to an impending lawsuit from you when the public is 'at the beach' in what was once your living room?

I thought the oyster fishermen in Louisiana were hucksters but they got nothing on the tribe in Alaska. A million bucks for every tribe member .... cool, I think our real estate problems have been solved. Less hurricanes and a million bucks - two very good reasons to be all for global warming. Someone bring me a fan .......... when it warms up.

A great many founts of authority, from the Royal Society to the UN, most heads of government along with countless captains of industry, learned professors, commentators and journalists will be profoundly embarrassed. Let us hope it is a prolonged and chastening experience.

Melting Mountain Glaciers Will Shrink Grain Harvests in China and India

Lester R. Brown

The world is now facing a climate-driven shrinkage of river-based irrigation water supplies. Mountain glaciers in the Himalayas and on the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau are melting and could soon deprive the major rivers of India and China of the ice melt needed to sustain them during the dry season. In the Ganges, the Yellow, and the Yangtze river basins, where irrigated agriculture depends heavily on rivers, this loss of dry-season flow will shrink harvests.

The world has never faced such a predictably massive threat to food production as that posed by the melting mountain glaciers of Asia. China and India are the world?s leading producers of both wheat and rice?humanity?s food staples. China?s wheat harvest is nearly double that of the United States, which ranks third after India. With rice, these two countries are far and away the leading producers, together accounting for over half of the world harvest.
