sorry if I sound stroppy, got a lot going on just now. The 9m rise is a possibilty, some models predict a rise of 1m, depends who you believe. This is part of the problem. Most people know something is happening and its not good, its a question of how bad might it be and might it be tolerable?
But interestingly there is a debate going on, on one of the western isles just now as to whether a huge wind farm should be built. One side says its a blot on the landscape the other side says the world needs to act and since the island is part of the world it should have the farm, otherwise no more islands. Perhaps the best place is offshore?
I can appreciate where the opposition are coming from, but personally, I am with Martini. I think the are very graceful objects and I think they represent something clean and positive.
