Global Warming and Where Not to Live
The PBS NOVA on global dimming just reinforces the notion to me that I do not want to have any of my net worth tied up in beachfront property. It's not clear where you could live and not be negatively affected by global warming of 10 or 20 degrees F. Coastlines will rise - so the beach is a no brainer. But hot and cold regions will be affected in different ways by changes in currents and weather patterns. The equator is also probably too hot.
