An Inconvenient Truth Question.......
Edited on Thu Mar-17-11 10:40 AM by global1
It has been a while since I watched the movie. One thing I remember is that there would be a rise in sea level and that it could/would inundate the coastal regions.

In light of what the tsunami did to Japan's nuclear facilities - shouldn't we be taking precautions to prevent any rise in sea level causing problems at U.S. nuclear facilities - like closing those that are in coastal regions down?

I probably know what some of the responses will be. The climate change deniers will say that it won't happen.

Where have I heard that before?

1. We're talking millimeters per year. I think there are more pressing concerns in the short run.
