"As part of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Climate Action Team, hydrologist and Pacific Institute staffer Matt Heberger has spent the past year studying the effects that rising sea levels will have on the people and infrastructure of California. He and his co-authors have presented their findings to the governor (http://www.pacinst.org/reports...) as part of first comprehensive statewide study of its kind. It documents how coastal flooding–an inevitable part of a projected three-to-five foot rise in sea levels by late this century–will threaten not only homes and areas of ecological value, but airports, schools, roads, rail lines, hazardous waste facilities and power plants. There are solutions available, but they are imperfect and expensive–an estimated $100 billion for California alone. But, as Heberger points out, there’s no time to waste in planning for the inevitable." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet
