Slagle, I live in a city situated like a sand castle on a bowl of jello. It's a just a wedge of glacial sand, gravel, and clay bordered by mountains and violent tidal inlets... maps.google.com Most of the city is 50-150 feet above sea level, with coastal bluffs protected from wave erosion by mud flats and marshes. Often I bike and hike along the coast past a half-mile section where the bluff is unprotected from the sea. Each year this area recedes another foot or two as great scallops of earth fall away. One third of my own subdivision collapsed into the sea during the 1964 earthquake. Most of the folks here have no idea what a temporary piece of land this is. A few meters of sea level rise would flood the existing tidal flats and start undermining the entire bluff zone along miles of coast. This place is just an insignificant momentary heel scrape of dirt in the span of geologic time. So when scientists propose a theory that human activity is causing global warming that could destroy my city in a few hundred years, it seems plausible to me. Nature is full of examples where species affect their environments to their own detriment. Why should it be any different with humans? If you don't buy the evidence, that's fine. But normally we do not call a scientific theory a scam when we disagree with it. -Snow
