If the sea levels rise, the ** family compound in Maine could get very wet

The NRCM analysis estimates that a one-meter rise would submerge more than 20,000 acres of coastal real estate in Maine; the six-meter rise would inundate more than 128,000 acres. The two scenarios would destroy 53 and 380 miles of roads, respectively.

“If global warming continues unabated, then portions of Maine’s coastline will be forever changed. That is why we are calling for increased efforts at every level to reduce global warming pollution. The most dangerous impacts of sea-level rise can still be avoided, but widespread action is needed now. According to scientists, we have a shrinking window of opportunity to change our course—measured in years not decades,” said Voorhees.

“Just a few years ago, scientists believed that the maximum sea-level rise would be around three feet by 2100. But now a three-foot rise is viewed more as a middle range of what might occur due to global warming,” said Voorhees.

Among the more dramatic findings of the analysis are the following:

• Most of the village of Kennebunkport along with President Bush’s family home on Walker’s Point could be completely submerged.

(Being a resident of Maine I do not relish the though of the ocean right outside my door. At least, not as a result of climate change.)

5. So what

Apparently nobody really cares about this if it means making choices for a leaner lifestyle.

6. No problem. They just bought a 100,000 acre ranch in Paraguay.

I wonder why the freepers aren't all in a tizzy. Imagine if Clinton had bought a huge ranch in a foreign country. :shrug:
