about global phenomena, that causes him the anxiety of cognitive
dissonance, to the readers of rec.boats:

"The development panel says the greatest financial responsibility lies
with
the U.S. and other rich nations most responsible for the accumulating
carbon
dioxide and other heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, mainly from man's
burning of coal, oil and other fossil fuels.............."


BFD.

Now, the well heeled of NC, those that can afford a cool 1mil plus of
land bordered on at least one side by salt water, have finally
realized that this global warming stuff may actually hit them in
*their* pocketbook.

Look for the first admission of the existence of global warming, from
the detractors, to come from those subject to the smackdown from
actuarial tables......


"Mallinson said that about 130,000 years ago, the shoreline was about where
it is today. Then, polar regions grew significantly warmer for an extended
period. Sea level rose 15 to 20 feet. All or parts of a dozen counties of
present-day Eastern North Carolina were submerged, making areas of Gates and
Washington counties beachfront."

"Some evidence suggests it rose fairly rapidly up to the Suffolk shoreline,"
said Mallinson, a geologist at East Carolina University. "That is what we
think may be beginning to happen today."



See a pattern?
