If warming trends continue, Overpeck said, the globe eventually will get a nasty message from the Arctic: a rise in sea levels. Higher oceans will flow into low-lying parts of the world such as New Orleans, making recovery in that hurricane-ravaged city moot. "It's hard to imagine why we're wanting to rebuild if we're going to allow global warming," Overpeck said.

And as long as the Saudi government is the ruling family, they cannot rob the country of its wealth because the country belongs to them....silly. Why not? Robber barons don't have to be from another country. You don't understand. Under their monarchy system the royal family owns ALL of Saudi Arabia. Everything is theirs, so they can't be stealing from themselves. The subjects own NONE of SA, other than what the royals may decide to give them. I understand the monarchial concept of ownership of their entire land. My question to you is why do you think the people are okay with this concept? After all, dissent is not allowed in SA.
