I was listening to NPR and someone came on who claimed to be an authority (they all think they are) who said that if we did everything possible to cut down on greenhouse emissions... and spent considerable money and focus on it... we would only delay the inevitable by 5 years in the next 100.
His point was: It's too late.
Since the lowlands are all going to flood anyway... it's just a matter of when... why not lobby to spend the money on moving people away from lowland areas? His view is that would be money better spent rather than trying to clean things up now.
That got me thinking about global warming differently.
.. and I just can't let go of the thought if it's true.
.. or is this just another Urban Legend (although I found no reference to it on Snopes).
Any ideas??
