“We need to beginning planning on many fronts because climate change is going to affect the way we do business, it’s going to affect everything from people’s health to property values on the shoreline,” said SPUR’s Laura Tam.
The report finds that climate change effects most threatening to the Bay Area are more intense heat waves, water uncertainty (droughts, wildfires, extreme storms and flooding), and a rise in sea level. It lays out step-by-step instructions for addressing these risks in terms of public safety and health, water supply, transportation infrastructure, biodiversity, and the region’s energy supply.
Just because San Francisco is almost always cold in summer, sea level hasn’t risen for 30 years, and the fact that the city is built on steep hills – is no reason to believe that it isn’t going to get really hot and flood.

It’s worse than we thought!
You just can’t win with these people. It’s called a RAIN forest! Or should it be droughtrain forest? 🙂
” sea level hasn’t risen for 30 years”
=========================================
What hits you in the face…..
When they were doing direct measurements, sea level was rising.
As soon as they slapped a satellite on it, sea level stopped rising.
That wasn’t sea level rise, that was land sinking……………
I think it is all tide gauge measurements.
damn, La Nina again……….LOL
But even if we don’t have to worry, our great great grandchildren of the future may have to worry. Since climate is always changing, they may have to worry about an Ice Age for all we know.
It’s an exercise in how Title 26 501(c)3 are laudering money these days . . . which tells me even this bubble is about to pop . . .
