There is lot of fancy dancing around the discussion of climate change and sea level rise. Yesterday (Sunday) we had a miserable climate situation, windless, hot, humid, vog. Trades are now around 50 percent of the days in the year, down from the 85% of the 60's and 70's, all due to climate change. Take a look at the disappearing shorelines, beaches, roads not only in Hawaii, but other Pacific Islands, and on the west coast. Those who bury their heads in the sand about climate change and sea level rise would have us believe that humankind does not have a darned thing to do with this situation, that it is a process of natural geologic evolution, sort of how the dinosaurs became extinct. Well, you are quite wrong. Get over it. Stop those who want to increase coal production to fire up those filthy coal fueled power plants and release coal wastes into our nation's rivers. Do you know that we have lead in corals offshore of Kalaeloa which probably came from China smokestacks?
