Global Climate Change: What kind of mess would the ocean become if it

[GreenPartyVoter]

swallowed vast amounts of our populated coastlines? Oil refineries, nuclear power plants, industrial sites of all kinds.

Just one more issue to put on the table along with the displaced people and the loss of arable land.

1. The corporations have a contingency plan for that scenario.

It is titled 'Run Like Hell and Let the Po' Folk Deal With It'.

Based on Union Carbide's big adventure in Bhopal, India.

2. Yeah, one would think so. They'll all be nestled in their chateaus in the

Rockies.

3. I am double-screwed..

I live directly on San Francisco Bay (at least I am at 70 feet elevation) and I just purchased a beachfront tract in Dominical, Costa Rica.

You would think I would know better.

we coulda just waited for the coast to come to us.

7. It depends how well we clean up

We should have plenty of time to remove installations to higher ground: it will be decades or gradually rising tides, not a NOLA-type "fuck, where did all that water come from" event. I'm sure there will be swathes of contanimated land that go under, but compared to the shit we're pumping into the oceans already, it's probably pretty moot.
