guess you really did not comprehend what was mentioned in the article, DD.  What do you think is causing the oceans level to rise and the water temperatures to get higher, if not "global warming?"  Or can it be, that you are one of those "climate change deniers?"  Why not go stand on a sea groin, when the "king tides" roll in and see for yourself, just how high the water gets, before claiming that your name is "chicken little" and the sky is falling.  As we all live in an island state and are affected by the waters around us, the sky over our heads and the trash we toss in the oceans that come back to bite us in the tush!
