SF Weekly Article on Local Global Warming Effects
October 18th, 2007 by Kishore
Joe Eskenazi of SF Weekly sat down with Melissa Capria, our August speaker, a couple weeks back to discuss local global warming issues. The article again mentions the 1 meter sea level rise by 2100 and the subsequent possible infrastructure damage estimated at $48 billion. The main areas of concern, the sewage treatment/drinking water infrastructure. The article also points out how the decrease in city population has contribute greatly to the reduction in GHGs (we’re at 9.2 now vs 9.7 in 2000).
Takeaway
The article is fun and witty, but doesn’t add much to the conversation. I’m mentioning it mainly since lots of people read SF weekly here locally. Just as at the cafe, there is strong concern in meeting the 2012 target. Without STRONG personal buy in, we ain’t getting there.
