Hi Tom,
Collecting all the samples from the river sounds like a big undertaking. How often is that done? Quarterly, monthly? And how long does it take to analyze 500 water samples? I heard some good news on the global warming front last evening on NPR. The insurance industry is putting a cost to it. They estimated that weather related claims caused by the effects of global warming (increased occurance of hurricanes, etc.) will increase by 60 percent. Unfortunately, I didn't catch exact numbers past that, so I can't say if it'll increase 60 percent over last year or the past 5 years.* Still, since it seems that change is often influenced by money, assigning a dollar amount to the effects of global warming may be a step in the right direction to influence more proactive planning. Laura * I failed to catch the details b/c I was painting the kitchen...green, not orange, although I'm sure Heidi's color choice is beautiful. : ) |
