There are plenty of other places on the web for that. But it is worth noting that the vast majority of reputable climate scientists have a consensus that global warming is occuring and anthropogenic causes are accelerating it. See <a href="http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/mandias/global_warming/fact-from-fiction.pdf" target="_blank">http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/mandias/global_warmin...</a> for a summary of relevant data.

Looks like we're stuck on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride for a while. Your place in MD sounds delightful. Good thing it's in a lofty place. Be sure to check out the flood map link in my next post in this series (it will be online 10/30 by noon), and you can see how various degrees of sea level rise will affect your property, or the nearby shore-line.

It's very hard to get people to understand that the lag time between change and climate effect is ~50 years, so even if we stop emitting any CO2 into the atmosphere right now, it'll be 50 years before that produces a measurable change in the rate of warming. On the bright side, my home on a peninsula in Maryland is 61 feet above sea level. If my granddaughter keeps the house she may have a nice waterfront property. (The water is currently about half a mile away.) Yeah, it’s definitely sobering.
