This e-mail is from an external source. Please do not open attachments or click links from an unknown or suspicious origin. o5xrr2l Instead, consider the environment's impact on Harbor view! At the hearing last night, almost no one mentioned the effect climate change is going to have on the east of Bayshore area. I would like to draw your attention to an interactive map at: sea Level Rise and coastal Flooding Impacts Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Sea Level Rise Viewer: View projected sea level rise at any coastal location up to 6 feet of inundation From .lo-. Looking at that map, you can see how our area will be impacted by sea level rise, currently projected to be at two feet above present levels by 2050. (And of course, sea level rise doesn't stop there.) Moreover, scientists are becoming more alarmed every day, with articles describing how the effects of thawing methane at the poles and dark sea water absorbing more heat is affecting ice melt in the same regions to contribute to a much faster warming/melting than previously projected. The takeaway is obvious: Harbor view will be imperiled only a few years after it's built. The solution is to not allow building there! It is truly a recipe for disaster. Thank you, Carol Cross Re: climate change: Building a world that works for everyone is exactly what we should refocus our efforts on doing when we read scientific studies that scare the hell out of us. As the researchers point out, there's .still time that we have to take advantage of That's why it's so damn important to act boldly. Now. — Eric Holthaus
