And you also go on constantly about sea level rise. Slightly off topic.. The Pacific NW coast, from northern CA to Vancouver Island, is on the boundary of the North American plate and has been slowly pushed upwards since the last "Big One" cracked the Cascadia Subduction fault, just offshore. When it happens again (and we're about due), aside from the big quake and tsunami, the coastal shoreline will drop from 5 to 8 feet and thrust forward (westward) as locked in pressure is released. Here's a pic of the Neskowin (Oregon) ghost forest remnants that were submerged with the last big one, just over 300 years ago. I grew up in a town just south of there.. Sea level rise didn't drown that forest. The land dropping and thrusting seaward did it. Many PNW beach communities are going to be wiped out when the Cascadia fault cracks again.. Although I have no links handy, I've read that land is sinking along parts of the Atlantic and Gulf coast regions. One hurricane would be enough for me. Residents there are welcome to it.
