More People Moving to Arizona

by John O'Leary

If global warming is really occurring and the seas rise, it would appear that more people will be moving to Arizona because I sure wouldn't want to move to the coast of Florida based on this data!

clipped from www.sciencedaily.com Science Daily — The first global study to identify populations at greatest risk from rising sea levels and more intense cyclones linked to climate change will be published next month in the peer-reviewed journal Environment and Urbanization. The research shows that 634 million people — one tenth of the global population — live in coastal areas that lie within just ten metres above sea level.  It calls for action to limit the effects of climate change, to help people migrate away from risk and to modify urban settlements to reduce their vulnerability. But it warns that this will require enforceable regulations and economic incentives, both of which depend on political will, funding and human capital.
