Expert: Allan Yeomans Date: 5/24/2008 Subject: Predicting Sea Levels
Question Hi Allan we are building a sculptural installation raising awareness of environmental issues in N Norfolk and need help with the title which will be in the form of a barcode with numbers. Can you tell me please the estimated number of people who will be displaced as a result of rising sea levels due to global warning over the next 50 years? Your help would be very much appreciated Annie Lloyd
Answer
There will be millions. Just how many is anybody’s guess. The numbers are always minimized as most organizations that predict such numbers go to a lot of trouble to comply with the wishes of the oil fuel industry. The breakup of polar ice we are now seeing is worse than any official prediction by any major international organisation in the last thirty years.
In my book PRIORITY ONE Together We Can Beat Global Warming, I argue that with a major switch to nuclear generated electricity, in conjunction with a switch to organic type agriculture to sequest carbon into soil, along with the rapid expansion in the production of biofuels from sugar cane and palm oil, nobody will be displaced anywhere as sea levels will stop rising and gradually return to preindustrial normals.
The oil industry cannot afford to have big chunks of the Amazon ploughed up to grow sugar cane. And whether it is coincidence or complicacy, the major world environmental movements loudly express that same opinion.
These arguments are expanded, argued and I believe explained at my website www.yeomansconcepts.com.au
