It's beginning to look pretty serious. Sea levels are expected to rise by more than a foot over the course of this century. Coastal areas and low lying islands -- including entire countries made up of islands just a few feet above sea level -- are going to be seriously affected. Of course, the Emperor W in Washington just sticks his head in the sand. After all, what does he care about dark-skinned people in places like Tuvalu or the Maldives. The latter, after all, is full of dark-skinned Muslims, so they don't matter in the least. Dark-skinned Christians such as the Tuvaluans are unlikely to fare any better, given the way in which the 'compassionate conservative' initially responded to the disaster in New Orleans.
