no offence theyseeall, and btw congrats on your 50k, but these past submissions were much better suited as threads in their appropriate forums than stories on ATSNN, that's just my opinion though.

Now back to the subject.

I really don't think much can be done except for people to be aware of the dangers and stop living in places that susceptible to natural disasters.

We have a changing earth, we can't reverse it, so we must adapt to it, maybe building seawalls in certain areas, dome homes in others and simply moving, if by chance you live at the foot of a volcano or something.

I'd say we really have to focus on developing nations, and others with little or no emissions regulations, and virtually no education on the subject.

I believe that, due to civilization as it is, global warming in a general sense is pretty much inevitable and to some degree a natural phenomenon. The earth and mankind will simply have to adapt - as they always have.

Kinda glad I won't be around when 2100 rolls in though.

You mean I'm gonna have to move my beachtowel again??!!

Are there any places that expect to profit from higher sealevel or warmer tempratures, increased rainfall etc ?

What about Siberia ?
