How many feet above sea level is Maplewood? I am just wondering if I should make mention in my will of a water front property.

Seems like a lot of hype and scare tactics.

Those leftists at Standard & Poor issued the following on credit worthiness of nations over the long haul:

So far we have financial guys who examine credit worthiness and retired military generals and admirals saying climate change is a REAL problem, it will take many years to correct, if at all, and we had better get our politicians to focus on the future. Your children and mine will live in that world. Sometime during their lifetime parts of the world may become inundated -- like Miami, lower Manhattan, Jersey Shore, Long Island, Mobile, New Orleans, much of Delaware's shore, and North Carolina beaches, Tamp-St. Pete, and so on.

Here's the link to the Center for Naval Analysis's study:
http://www.cna.org/reports/accelerating-risks
This study is a follow-on to its 2007 study.
Here's a quote from beginning of the study:
"In the seven years since the first MAB report, developments in scientific climate projections, observed climate changes (particularly in the Arctic), the toll of extreme weather events both at home and abroad, and changes in the global security environment have all served to accelerate the national security implications of climate change. While there has been some movement in efforts to plan effective responses to these challenges, the lack of comprehensive action by both the United States and the international community to address the full spectrum of projected climate change issues remains a concern."
Military generals and admirals (16 retired generals and admirals worked on the report) are not usually associated with "left wing" causes. By almost any standard the military is a conservative institution and its leaders are also conservative.
It probably won't make difference to the wing nuts in Congress, but it is pretty hard to ignore the military. After all, it is they that the wing nuts will call upon to go fight somewhere.
