Coastal real estate? Some entire island nations will be under water. Personally I think a lot more research needs to be done quickly to answer some questions. The warming is obvious and irrefutable, but I'm not completely sold on the idea of carbon dioxide. It appears that a huge amount to the carbon dioxide is being released as warming allows the arctic tundra to decompose. So is the warming causing an increase in carbon dioxide or is carbon dioxide causing the warming? The thing that bothers me is that carbon dioxide metabolizing organisms in the ocean should be acting as a huge carbon sink balancing the CO2 level, just like those closed environment aquariums in Biology class. We aren't we getting that huge bloom of organisms in response to the CO2. In the past when these organisms die and sink, they add to the frozen methane on the ocean floor. If the real problem is pollution of the ocean we need to do completely different things than if the problem is carbon dioxide. I think some don't want to know about global warming while others have prematurely pointed to carbon dioxide which doesn't make a lot of sense to many. .
