"High Tide On Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis", my new book, is now available for purchase on Amazon.com After nearly three years of research, writing, editing, and last minute updates to incorporate recent research, it is very exciting to have this published. It is receiving excellent reviews, excerpted below. To quote from the back cover: 

The Union of Concerned Scientists today sent a letter to President Obama and Governor Romney focusing on the issue of rising sea level, in anticipation of the last debate in this years Presidential contest. The debate takes place on October 22, 2012 at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida.

Arctic sea ice has an annual cycle. Each year the minimum ice is noted about the third week of September. Today it was announced that melting had reduced the polar ice sheet to 1.3 million sq miles (3.4 million skm). That is truly alarming, but not for the reason commonly believed. It has no direct effect on sea level rise. It is worth understanding why it is still very ominous.

If asked how much of our planet is ocean, most educated people will give a correct approximate of something like the "two thirds." A more accurate answer would be about 71% of the planet's surface area.

A Reuters lead story last week out of London, got the key facts about rising sea level dead on: Rising sea level can no longer be stopped, even if we stop all greenhouse gas emissions, though it can be slowed.

That is one of the key points of my forthcoming book: High Tide On Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis. 

March through May -- the Spring months -- witnessed the breaking of temperature records all across the US.

Weather experts are calling it the "Summer in March."  35 Heat records were broken for every record breaking Cold statistic.
