The answer, unfortunately, is yes, yes, and again yes. If you are one of the
150 million Americans who live within 100 miles of a coastline -- and even
if you live much farther inland -- you could be inhabiting the next New
Orleans. The bad news for you is that there are even more studies full of
even more scientific data confirming this fact than the studies predicting
Katrina prior to 2005.
The issue this time is global warming. We are literally altering the sky
above us. And be assured: This is not some "junk theory" peddled by Greenpeace
extremists. No less an authority than the Bush Administration itself has
officially confirmed, on multiple occasions, that global warming is real and
is driven by our use of fossil fuels -- oil, coal, and natural gas.
Worldwide, thanks to climate change, sea level is expected to rise up to
three feet within the coming decades and extreme weather events will
significantly increase, according to the Bush Administration.
These two factors -- more intense storms and rising ocean levels -- mean we
are rapidly turning every coastal city in America into another New Orleans.
