Sea Level Rising Rapidly on Both Coasts, Could Even Flood San Francisco Airport in a Decade
http://www.aquafornia.com/archives/68984/
(And 'they' want to build the Saltworks development in Cargill's old salt flats in Redwood City.  Not to mention that Feinstein wanted that land for mitigation to expand the SFO runways into the San Mateo area.  Follow the water-trail required to support this development...all I have to say after more than three years of reading most of this drivel...DUH.

If we're supposed to shut down, move out and move on because of eventual 'seal level rise' in the Delta some 80 miles east of San Francisco, wouldn't that mean the Bay Area cities should too??  Or is all of this really nothing more than smoke and mirrors to perpetuate resource theft and control?  Just a thought.)
