Sea Level Rise

"Rising sea levels caused by global warming are likely to affect around 150 million people living in low-lying coastal areas"

This is an interesting article which gives rather frightening examples of geo-engineering. The theme, however, remarks on the growing snowball we have already let loose; Climate Change is upon us and regardless of what we do, change will occur. The hope, however, is that the change will be manageable, and with growing technology, even reversible
"Substituting geo-engineering for greenhouse emission control would be to burden future generations with enormous risk "

It touches close to home for me, literally because my house is located at about 15 ft above sea level.

Ways to save energy:
--4 minute showers
--Turn off computer at night
--Sleep when it is dark
