N&O | Rising sea level redefines N.C. coast

No challenges on this one. The News and Observer kicks off a summer long series on global warming and it's impact on the state with a focus on rising sea level. I'm no expert on global warming but the article features some people who do make such claims. Most of the predictions are in geologic time frames so the people who bought Kevin's house can at least pay off the mortgage before they abandon Vista Colony.
Make sure you look at the photos. If these had been in my arsenal during the referendum campaign we would be putting sand on the beach next spring. There is a great shot of a women fishing from the deck of a house on Seagull Dr. The captions says "Its just like fishing on the pier". Where's Uncle Jack to tell us how great the beaches are in Sonag, these photos tell a little different story.
Anyway, enjoy the article just don't plan to leave the house to your grandkids. Live in econcomic time plan in geologic time - that's what I always say.

By the way, at the very end of the article Dr. Riggs talks about the megastorm that will destroy the OBX but the rest of the piece was so solid it didn't even piss me off. Thank to the N&O and to Wade Rawlins, Staff Writer, who obviously is a journalist.
