[Terrapreta] What is so bad about global warming?

[MMBTUPR at aol.com]

          from          Lewis L. Smith

In answering the question in the title, one might begin with any of the 
following three groups of people   >>>

[1]     The 13,000 refugees in India and New Zealand who have been forced to 
abandon their island homes of centuries forever because every combination of 
high tide and storm surge   leaves them without a dry place on which to stand.

[2]     The coastal fisher folk in Alaska whose houses and piers are falling 
into the sea, because the spring storms no longer roar across ice but across 
water, stirring up aggressive waves which attack the shore.

[3]     The people in Rincón, Puerto Rico, whose housing development was 
built on a compacted land fill next to the shore. The sea is eating into their 
properties, scattering the trash up and down the shore and undermining the 
houses.

Cordially.   ###
