[Grovenet] When the ice melts

[Eric Canon]

Some quotes from a story on what we can expect
locally if global warming projections pan out:

"Think about the Pacific Ocean rising to the
level of 14th Avenue on Portland's westside.
Tillamook underwater. Nearly 100,000 Oregonians
forced from their homes by water."

"Steps under review in Oregon include
requirements for more efficient cars and a
greater share of energy coming from renewable
sources. Their price now may be small compared
with the payoff in terms of avoiding catastrophe
later, they say."

"Our job is not to convince the public of
anything, but to at least start sharing this kind
of information so people can begin to understand
that there are serious risks out there and begin
to chew on the question of what are we willing to
spend to prevent those risks from coming into
fruition,"

Here's the story:
