When will we appreciate the risk?

The global concert - on 7 continents - this past Saturday should be a wake up call to the entire population.  I started wondering if developers take into account the erosion rate of beaches and land when they build coastal condos.  When ice melts in the arctic and antarctic, sea levels rise globally.  And, if you watched the global concert, Live Earth, you'll know that Mother Earth is sick.  Should requirements be made to take in erosion rates when cities approve coastal projects?  We should also consider that the fact that we as humans don't like to act on anything unless it's presenting itself in our face.  Well, I was in Vegas this weekend and it reached 115 degrees.  That is not cold.  The ocean water in San Diego is much warmer this year than it was last year at the same time.  This thing called "Global Warming" is real.  We must face it as we are now approaching the 11th hour!
