Looks like the melting of the Greenland icecap may proceed faster than previously thought. New information about Greenland's under-ice topography suggests so anyway. See http://www.eurekaler...--gwb051414.php

What do you get with rising warmer polluted seas and hundreds of overpopulated coastal places?
Climate change could flood your streets with doo-doo and toxic waste
By John Upton Stefan KlocekOakland and surrounds.
"Rising seas and ferocious storms linked to global warming won’t just bring water to our doorsteps. In some cities, it will deliver a witches’ brew of sewage from low-lying drains and toxic waste from Superfund sites and industrial areas.
That’s because when seas rise, they don’t just top over shorelines. They can burble up through waterfront infrastructure like sewage systems."

The obvious solution is to safely recycle 100% of all human-generated waste materials, all the trash, garbage, junk, smoke, fumes and chemical waste. But the corporations that could make that happen are in the business of making money, so they want to invest in areas of higher return than recycling, although Waste Management appears to be doing great..

However, drowning in sewage and toxic waste is not fire, but horrible, nevertheless.
