Why they UK is not concerned about the ongoing coastal erosion of their shores? The Britains are surrounded by sea but they seem not to be concerned by the ongoing coastal erosion of their shores. According to a publication in Guardian titled "Living on the edge", the sea level is expected to rise by 90 cm leaving large coastal areas of the UK under water around 2080. The UK is not the only case, of course, but they are one of the most threatened nations. They are also one of the few developed nations, which means that they should have be able to provide some solution. It is sad but it seems that they haven't any solution available. They are obviously eager to brag about the problem than to find some solution. Aren't there some wisemen to show them what to do?

1. How far was the lighthouse from the shoreline when it was built in 1870? I have this essay and some questions about it, i've answered them all and i just want to check my answers. I will post the other in a min. [The Cape Hatteras lighthouse is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, North Carolina. The 60-meter (208 feet) high structure is the tallest lighthouse in the United States, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The lighthouse was built on the barrier islands that make up the Outer Banks over 120 years ago. At that time the structure was much further from the shoreline. In recent years coastal erosion threatened this historical landmark. This exercise reviews contrasting perspectives on how to deal with the threat of erosion. We will examine the interaction between politics and science, and conflicts between citizen groups and federal agencies. The National Park Service (NPS) manages the Seashore and recently (Summer, 1999) carried out a plan move the lighthouse inland to protect the structure from future.] Oh, i missed some sentences, here it is [The NPS plan was opposed by some local citizen groups (Save Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Committee) whereas other residents, such as the members of the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society, supported the relocation. A Raleigh, North Carolina, television station, WRAL, has produced a web-documentary (including audioclips from politicians, experts and locals) about the debate around moving the lighthouse]. And here is the other 2 Questions: 2.How far was the lighthouse from the shoreline in 1935 when the first significant steps were taken to try to protect the coastline against erosion? 3.What was the approximate rate of erosion for Cape Hatteras in the first 65 years after the lighthouse was constructed? This reflects the natural erosion rate for this part of the Outer Banks before the impact of man-made structures.
How much of Blackgang Chine is left? I have fond childhood memories of Blackgang Chine on the Isle of Wight and returned there about 5 years ago to find that parts of it have fallen into the sea due to coastal erosion. I looked on Google Earth and the Maze is looking precariously close. Has anyone been there recently and do you know if any more has been lost?
Could this be the answer to Great Britain's rubbish problem? I read again this morning, dire warnings and I quote. (Britain faces fines of up to £180 million a year from the European Commission if it does not reduce the amount of rubbish dumped at landfill sites, a committee of MPs warned.) And then the next article I read is, and again I quote. (Welcome to Semakau, which the Singapore government believes to be the world's first island made almost entirely from trash.) Surely, this must the way forward for Great Britain, which is facing a shortage of landfill sites and coastal erosion on what seems a massive scale. Your thoughts please.

Is the infrastructure of the Arctic endangered? Concerns associated with permafrost warming and degradation, coastal erosion, the stability and maintenance of transportation routes, and industrial development may indicate that the issue is more of an economic one than a technological one. In areas of warm, discontinuous permafrost, it is challenging to find economic solutions to address he impacts of climate change on foundations or structures. Thinner, less extensive sea ice is very likely to improve navigation conditions along most northern shipping routes, such as Canada’s Northwest Passage and Russia’s Northern Sea Route. However, decreasing sea- ice extent and thickness is very likely to affect traditional winter travel and hunting where sea ice has been used for these purposes. Projected increases in temperature, precipitation, and storm magnitude and frequency are very likely to increase the frequency of avalanches and landslides. Is the average American aware of these issues? Can they see the relevance?
Does anyone know anything about walton on the naze? if you do I need help! i'm not going to ask you to write out the whole essay for me, i just need a good opening line to start the essay Its about the coastal erosion thats happening. many thanks xx =]
Is it realized and accepted what global warming will do to the North East ? Wilting heat, deadly storms, flash floods, coastal erosion, more days with unhealthy air -- those are just some of the effects of rising temperatures on the Northeast, a group of scientists reported Wednesday. In New Jersey and other states, the multi-billion-dollar coastal tourism industry will suffer from even a slight rise in sea level that will result from a global rise in temperatures, the scientists said. Less snowfall and more ice storms will adversely impact New Hampshire, Vermont and other states that draw winter tourists for skiing, snowmobiling and the like. In New Jersey, two of the state's premier crops, blueberries and cranberries, would be threatened if temperatures rise by as much as 14 degrees Fahrenheit by late century, as scientists predict if fossil fuel consumption continues to rise at current levels. The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and gasoline, are a leading cause of the heating of the planet, known as global warming. http://www.enn.com

Bush vetoes water projects bill. Why? Details of the projects that Bush cited as his reasons for a veto included: * $3.6 billion for major wetlands and other coastal restoration, flood control and dredging projects for Louisiana, a state where coastal erosion and storms have resulted in the disappearance of huge areas of land; * nearly $2 billion for the restoration of the Florida Everglades; * nearly $2 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers to build seven new locks on the upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers; * $7 billion for various projects related to hurricane mitigation in Mississippi and Louisiana, including assuring 100-year levee protection in New Orleans; * hundreds of smaller dredging, wetlands restoration and flood control projects across the country. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21599575/ To me it looks like he's trying to put New Orleans underwater for good. I'm not seeing anything substantial from the apologists on this. Like no bill passed under Congress from 2000-2007 had state projects. Besides, the article states those projects were wetlands renovation projects. Prretty appropriate on a water bill.

Atheists and Christians Alike both agree the earth is warming and the Climate is changing? But Christians believe the change is all in GOD's plan to cleanse the earth once again just like in Noah's day, once and for all the Sinful Nature of Man. And even though believers think we should all do what we can to take care of the earth the final cleansing and rebirth will happen with the arrival of Jesus Christ. Atheists- Since many of you think also Global Warming and the Climate is changing what are your views on the end result? Will mankind just disappear and evolution will start again? and why do you think earth has to be inhabitable for human life? Climate change is warming Britain's waters, eroding its coastline, harming its marine wildlife and increasing "Our winters are getting wetter and warmer, sea levels are rising and coastal erosion is increasing," Rural affairs secretary Richard Lochhead said. "These are happening now and we must take action."

Since the earth seems to be going through a warming cycle, should we stop fighting and prepare for it? Liberals = it's MAN's fault and WE should stop it Conservatives = there have been warming and cooling periods all through time and we cannot stop or change them OKAY - we have different 'reasons' why...BUT Should we all work together to come up with a plan? **Housing will be affected as shores erode and storms become more common and servere. **Entering the location of a home in the continental U.S. on www.climateappraisal.com, pulls up an environmental lowdown: information on the coastal erosion, tornadoes, earthquakes, drought, floods, landslides and volcanoes in the area.
Do you think we should restore some of the swamp land at hurricane-prone places so the hurricanes would be..? less dangerous? Environmentalists have been talking for years about the possible effects that damage to the coastal lands would have should a hurricane cut the right course. Minus the miles of grasslands and barrier reefs that have been fading for years, Gulf Coast cities are vulnerable. But the urgings of scientists and politicians have fallen on deaf federal ears. "They're constantly turning their backs on the erosion of our coastal lands," Benson says, "and now it's gonna bank the country." But somehow the problem here seems more desperate than other places. Casinos can be rebuilt. New Orleans most likely will rise again. The small towns sprinkled along the coast will bloom from the sweat of the hard people who refuse to leave. http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geu.djAHNG3eYAFGJXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE3Ymtxdm43BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2UEdnRpZANERkQ1XzE0MwRsA1dTMQ--/SIG=127vrk8t5/EXP=1182028259/**http%3a//hurricane.weathercenter.com/MGBQTUMXDDE.html
can u help me make this into a better paragraph..somehow rewording it..? If heat increase for a prolong time, the polar ice caps will melt away. The sea level would rise throughout the world. Many coastal areas would experience flooding, erosion, a loss of wetlands, and an entry of seawater into freshwater areas.
