	. . .we are gathering on the beach here in Southern California
	on October 24 in Manhattan Beach for 350.org International
	Day of Climate Action to demonstrate what sea level rise will do
	to us here on the West Coast . . .

	. . .Few topics are likely to be more contentious than coastal
	development. But along the state's 2,000-mile shoreline, the
	impact would be acute, particularly in Orange and San Mateo
	counties where an estimated 110,000 people would be
	affected, according to the 99-page state-commissioned report
	by the Oakland-based Pacific Institute.
	Detailed maps of the coastline, published on the institute's
	website, show residential neighborhoods in Venice and Marina
	del Rey could be inundated. Ocean waters could surge over
	airports in San Francisco and Oakland, through the ports of Los
	Angeles and Long Beach, and across large swaths of
	Huntington and Newport Beach. . .

In other words, the old old surfer's hangouts in L.A. will be the  
first to go.
