Boston faces deep risk from sea level rise

A new report out by World Wildlife Fund and insurer Allianz warns that
sea levels could rise along the U.S. coast a whopping 26 inches by
2050 as the world warms.

That would place assets worth $7.4 trillion at risk along the US
coast.

�With each new study the alarm bells become deafeningly clear that
climate change will have devastating consequences for our economy and
way of life,�� said David Reed, senior vice president of policy at
WWF.

The report comes several weeks before the world�s nations meet in
Copenhagen to work toward a binding agreement to lower greenhouse
gases from power plants, cars, and factories that are warming the
earth and causing sea levels to rise.

New scientific evidence shows that the pace of warming in some places
is outstripping even dire projections.

In the report, Boston is cited as the city with the fourth greatest
risk exposure.

The top three are Miami with $2.8 trillion; New York-Newark area with
$1.8 trillion and New Orleans with $753 billion.

Great news! Bostonians don't have to build a sea wall after all!
Some hacked Emails prove AGW ain't happening!

•• No matter how it goes, Reed and the insurers
stands to pick up quick bucks.

•• The report is full of IPCC #4 polished up but just
the same-old, same-old!

•• ROTFLMAO:

The first time Cahill has got anything even half
