   A nice little video of Delaware that I and others saw on Facebook.

   90% of this video showcases all of the incredible natural resources in our coastal zone. Exactly those resources that are threatened by climate change and sea level rise. Perhaps Tom Carper should watch.

   There will still be a coastal zone, but it will run from Wilmington Newark along what we presently call I-95.

   Delaware has easily a million acres of tidal wetlands that would be killed by a few inches of sea level rise

   Mouse, close but not quite! Its more like 100,000 acres total of which virtually all will disappear with the most optimistic of sea level rise predictions. The state has studied this well and has actual data that Carper should be using to make his decision. Its online: http://www.dnrec.delaware.gov/coastal/Pages/SLR/DelawareSLRVulnerabilityAssessment.aspx
