what about the delta, what do we do if we don't know where to go. my agency represent as hundred percent of our supply in the delta. that does not mean we have sat back waiting for the delta to be improved. we have spent more than a billion have to diversify but with the aspects that lester talked about we're going to have to invest in the delta in a way that creates adoptibility and what i call a, two for example. or we could have a katrina type event when it hits. if we don't invest in levies and improve meant on the water supply can in fact be the cork in the bottle when the global warming raises the sea level. i listened to a professor the other day that's chair to one of the groups that talked about what levy groups ought to be. the levies on the west side are not worth saving because their big islands and i raised my hand and i said so the delta will become salt water and what are you going to say to the species and the people that live there because that's salt water. we can't all go into silos. those are levies for water quality. we have to

northwest, delta, american. i have seen in all the years of deregulation. -- i have seen it all the years of deregulation. it will result in an increase in fares and costs, and the purpose of the regulation was not to line the pockets of the big carriers -- purpose of indeed regulation -- the purpose of deregulation was not to line the pockets of big carriers. millions paid in baggage fares last year. for goodness' sakes. this is a terrible injustice to the purpose of the deregulation act, and i will continue to oppose it. thank you, mr. chairman. >> i think you made your position very clear. the chair now recognizes the general -- joan and from north carolina, mr. coble. >> a story of local interest back home. both served by united, delta, and continental. how will this affect airports that have seen an increase in passenger service as a result of the current dismal economy, and if approved, with this merger provide the opportunity for communities, such as the one i represent, to attract additional service? >>

- small amounts of sea level rise which could breach the levies in the san francisco sacramento bay delta region. so we are intimately tied to and connected to that overall city. our plan is simply to work with everybody we can find, every partner we can find, to try to find ways to address these issues, to help with funding and to make sure that we are aware of the science to be doing some proactive planning on our own system, and of course to be supporting legislation that will lead to the kinds of dramatic reductions in emissions which will, we hope and trust, help to avert some of the worst impacts of climate change in the future. but the fact is that climate change is not only real, it is in fact happening and so we are dealing with it right now. the three speakers that are on my panel are all people who are coping in various ways and helping to be part of the solution. i'm going to just briefly introduce all three of them in order you have their biographies in your booklets so i won't read them to you. i will simply point out if you can't read the name tags that to the left of where

are we building another katrina in the delta and are we doing so that increases the delta failure that has profound water shortage implications and we have them claiming yes climate change is real, yes, it has implications, but, no, they would not evaluate them. so being the reasonable people we are, we sued them. but we think it require as real analysis especially when agencies are making long-term issues with profound effects for public safety and we hope the courts resolve that rapidly and the legislature can do that as well. >> as far as regional exercises, i think i'm all for it. they do havetheir limitations but the way to improve these models and to understand their capabilities is to use them and try to confirm that they work on big events that we actually have observed, and so you know, typically, we look retrospective simulations and try to introduce as much independence in the tests that are used, in order to gain confidence that the models work in future situations. i'm not familiar with the environmental quality act or activity that you mentioned but i think it's worth dis

there may be areas, particularly in the delta, where it's better to halt planned development than it is to allow the development to be built and then face the cost of trying to protect it from inevitable flooding. clearly, what we have to do is figure out how much it will cost to protect everything that's vulnerable to flooding, figure out how much everything that might flood is worth, and then develop a thoughtful regional strategy that effectively deals with this issue. the choice of moving aggressively to reduce green house gasses so the sea level rise we have to deal with is at the lower end of the spectrum that the scientists tell us we should be planning. it's too late to prevent climate change and sea level rise. they are already happening. and even if we shut down all the power plants and park all of our cars, there is so much green house gas in the atmosphere it will continue to get warmer. in many ways we're in the same position as the captain of the titanic was. what was his name? edward j. smith. at the speed he was going, by the time he saw the iceberg, it was inevitable

delta breeze out to vacaville. sacramento will cool off a little. the fog is just keeping temperatures so cool by the beach. that low even though it weakens considerably this time of year it really helps the fog. so the low spins in and as it does that enhances the fog, picks up the sea breeze as well and that means a cooler pattern. today four or eight degrees cooler. windy at times especially out to the delta. sunny, breezy, cooler inland. highs 50s to 80s. 86 antioch. low 80s danville. mid-70s santa rosa. 50s, 60s to near 70 on the coast. cooler today into wednesday. maybe a slight bump up thursday before a really significant cooling trend as we head into the weekend. >>> thank you, steve. police searching for two men seen burglarizing a number of vehicles in a busy shopping area. breakins happened yesterday morning near businesses at oak grove road. three hours smashing windows and taking valuable personal items. >> as opposed to seeing stuff lying in the vehicles i think they're breaking in the vehicles and then searching for items. >> police w

the bay delta here. and next one, please. and this was - we always talk about sea level rise and i heard a couple of orders of magnitude of estimates this morning and one of them was more like this where this is the more conservative,ip sfpuc, estimate where the change in sea level you were told sea levels are rising by about half a foot. we can expect that at least probably. but we could see an accelerated rise of maybe three or four times that according to,ip sfpuc. instead of half a foot we could see three feet. you know out here at fort point here in san francisco. first of all we don't know what the climate is doing to do, but secondly, the way ice gets dumped into the ocean from the land based - well sea level rises from one, the water gets warmer and inflates because it's density is less and that's well understood and handled by climate models. what's not well handled is the fact that when ice gets shed from green land and antarctica, there's 70 levels that if it all melted would raise sea levels but the problem is it'
