Comments on: Sea levels Rising Faster Than Predicted http://priceofoil.org/2006/09/21/sea-levels-rising-faster-than-predicted/ Oil Change International campaigns to expose the true costs of oil and facilitate the coming transition towards clean energy. We are dedicated to identifying and overcoming political barriers to that transition.

Nasa Senior Scientists James Hansen reported that melting in Greenland has doubled in just the last 5 years. I have heard credible reports of possible sea level rises of 20 feet this century from scientists. During the interglacial period, carbon dioxide levels did not get above 280 ppm (during the glacial periods, they were at 180 ppm). We are now at 381 ppm and increasing at 2.6 ppm per year Carbon Dioxide. We are initiating massive change on the very life support system that keeps us a millions of other species alive. The beauty about solving the climate change crisis is that it solves so many other problems, and creates such a nicer, cleaner world. As we stop mining and burning coal, and stop drilling for and burning oil, we stop all of this massive, horrific destruction now being wreaked upon our planet. And we stop so much pollution that makes fish to poisonous to eat, the air unsafe to breathe and the water and land toxic. Through solar panels on our rooftops and vast windfarms throughout America, along with use of ecological biofuels, we can both solve the climate change crisis and make us energy independent, while reducing or eliminating urban smog and so much other pollution Chad Kister Author, Arctic Melting and Arctic Quest www.chadkister.com www.arcticrefuge.org I hope that this is a wakeup call.
