Yesterday Worldchanging covered a New York Times article about how climate change and rising seas could destroy at least a quarter of beachfront property; today's Times covers how some are dealing with this while aiding and abetting it at the same time- using massive amounts of concrete (source of up to 10% of CO2 production) and building materials to build bunkers by the sea, which someday will look like those forlorn WWII Maunsell Sea Forts. Imagine building a charming seaside community out of these! ::New York Times; see great graphic ::here
