Recent Studies Suggest Seas Rising and Warming Faster than Previously Realized
Andrew C Revkin writing for the New York Times describes a variety of recent research suggesting that the worldwide sea level rise is greater and faster than previously realized. His recent article was published on June 19, 2008 in the Dot Earth blog and is entitled: Seas Rising and Warming Faster than Realized. He has linked his article to a number of other interesting and relevant publications.
The worldwide sea level rise is a very important aspect of coastal land loss in Louisiana. This is a global condition overlaying a problem associated with the management of the Mississippi River system that cannot be ignored. Global sea level rise further demonstrates the urgency with which action is needed in Louisiana on coastal land building.
