Why in the world are you trying to solve a problem when we can study the problem for years? Are you against job security? ROFL
We now live in SE Florida. I can walk to the canal 200 feet from the house and see where sea level is at anytime I want. We get King tides and yes, they will flood some of the streets in Miami and Ft Lauderdale. A good 2 or 3 inches deep. But, our average MSL is 6'. Yet we choose to live in a state that in 5,000 years might be under 200 feet of water if every scrap of ice melted.

Man has been adapting to everything the world has thrown at him -- just a thought here, perhaps trying to change the climate is commensurate to denying that there is something greater than man.

A humble man recognizes there are things greater than man. Fools and arrogant asses think mankind can control the universe.

Well said as to *analyzing* ad nauseum vs. actually doing something. For years, another (environmental) sidebar = the EPA’s *Superfund* program, affectionately known as the *$uper $huffle.* When one adds up the amount of money spent on investigations/reports/litigation as opposed to what has been spent on *actual* remediation, it’s fuzzy math at best.
