May 15, 20188 yr Author 20 NC coastal communities could be flooded by sea water in 15 years, new report says http://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/article170066037.html
May 15, 20188 yr Active Members I always wanted some beachfront property in Memphis (elevation 331). I realize this is a serious situation but it has taken 400+ years to get this way (Industrial Revolution) and I don't think we can solve it during our life time even though you intend to live forever. Have any actual or realistic solutions in mind? Besides cuddling up with a toothsome boy and thinking things over? Best regards, RA1
May 15, 20188 yr Author There are some apparently realistic -- though still undoable, thus far -- ideas for "carbon sequestration," i.e. extracting CO2 from the atmosphere and injecting it deep underground. But there is debate over whether any such approach could scrub enough of it to make a climatic difference, especially with so many other climate-collapse drivers, most especially ocean changes, already triggered and operating faster and faster.
May 15, 20188 yr Active Members Yes, there is already so much CO2 in the oceans that I dare not wonder what will happen next. Best regards, RA1
May 16, 20188 yr Author And even before that, just that the atmospheric heat-trapping effects of airborne CO2 are melting the ice sheets with pending (even happening now) catastrophic effect. And then the resultant screwing up of critical ocean megacurrents (Gulf Stream et al.) that worked to keep the global temperature more or less in balance. ...Been nice knowing you all!
