we're seeing more and more of these failures and we saw part of antarctica, shed off in a few days. somebody was looking at satellite map's and away it went. that caused sea levels to rise. that mechanism is not well represented in models or understood very well. sea level rise by itself is gentle three feet of rise may not do too much but when it's couple with high tides and storms and el nino, by maybe close to a foot do things like this. this is 1983 in san diego area. and well, let's go on to the next one. that shows the actual sea level record. in the pay delta, it's not just sea level rises but the fact that we have fresh water floods. this is the level that ice street water gauge in sacramento. darn this thing. okay. those are tides. mostly a summer period, but these are floods so you can see, you know the water levels get up to nine meters there. there's a book called, conquering the inner sea which is a history of levies in sacramento valley and trying to contain the water. the fact is, this sort of thing could potentially get more frequent and potentially higher. i don't w

secondly, we all here about the poles shrinking in antarctica, based on this you see they play a bigger roll with respect to water and reflection from the sun. there are things you need to know. we don't need fearful people. many of us are managers that make hard decisions in investments we need to be empowered and knowledgeable. this looks at a state of the art of what's fake, real , fact or fiction about global warming. we have to make up indecisions, it may go 25 feet but some of us won't be here in 150 years. we have to know what's available to us in the next 25 years so you have to get in your mind the range of possibilities. finally the worst thing we can do and i'm a general manager of a water district, is to believe we are not going to have to build this investment because we could flip the switch and the trends we see will continue from ten to 20 years. you understand that? we're not going back to our customers and say we're going to do greenhouse emissions and do things to stop it. first of all, we don't control the whole world, we can only do what we can do and that's a lot s

plankton although the reduced japan and norway are said you know large drag trawlers to go down to antarctica to pull in plankton to make a protein meal for livestock and they're pulling it out by the hundreds of thousands of tons without any environmental impact as to what the what the consequences will be from removing all of that plankton so we're overfishing every single commercial fishery in the world is in a state of collapse right now the united nations predicts that by twenty forty eight there will be no. more commercial fishing i think it will be much sooner than that the problem is that there's really no in force much of international conservation regulations we have all the laws and treaties we need to do this but there's a lack of political and economic will on the part of governments to actually do anything about it the united states for instance could stop whaling to morrow by simply implementing u.s. department of commerce sanctions against japan and norway but every year instead of implementing the sanctions they send a so-called strongly worded letter of protest to japan and
