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.
