Scientists studying both ancient and modern day shorelines have documented that Louisiana is sinking. The research also shows that Alabama and a portion of the Texas shoreline have risen. "If part is sinking, somewhere else, it has to rise," DeLong said. "We see that in Alabama, and out around Galveston, Texas. On our timescale, it might be rising a few centimeters a year. But over 20,000 or 30,000 years, that begins to add up." DeLong said she was amazed at the condition of the wood samples when she received them. The outer edge of the pieces is pockmarked from marine worms and other creatures, but those damages are only on the surface of the wood. Inside, the trees are still so hard that even a knife dragged across them barely makes a scratch.

Realization of those lofty goals would indeed be a great thing but I don't see how we're going to regulate our way to utopia.

Perhaps not. But I don't think we would ever get close to it unregulated.

The only regulation that could work is regulating population numbers. Anything less and you might as well not bother as all that it will accomplish is to create expensive boondoggles and in the process give the Statists even more control over our lives which is what many folks think it's all about already.

How about this for a start, have a plan and good reason BEFORE you exploit and apparently waste earths resources to build things. That might help.
