I'm starting to look at the upcoming decades this way:
1. How long until Hawaii becomes unlivable?
2. Where can I go after that?
3. Will I even live that long? If not, why do I even care?
Item 1:
OMG, are you serious. I am serious when I ask, are you serious?
You will go to your grave, your children and grandchildren will go to their graves, all after long and unhappy lives spent worrying about the sky falling, with neither the sky falling or the ocean rising noticeably/significantly/meaningfully.
This debate has gone from theoretical self-flagellation, to outright insanity.
Item 2: I'll pass on this one.
Item 3: Neither you or I or anyone alive now or in the next 1,000 years or more will be affected by either the sky falling or ocean rising with the possible exception of a few rich people who built houses on the very edge of the ocean. However, I suspect that natural erosion will have a hugely more-significant effect to those structures than any ocean-level rise.
No doubt, however, there will be more doom-and-gloomers at that time proffering dire predictions about a great flood being just around the corner and where will they go when Hawaii becomes unlivable.
For the record, I re-affirm my absolute support of the water-bottling project, and hope it brings an economic boost to your part of Hawaii. If they can offer bio-degradable bottles, that would be an added bonus.
