Have you heard a peep from anyone in
government about the rising sea levels?

Whether they are worried about it?

Whether it is out of their hands so
they can't do anything about it?

Whether there are any plans in place to
look at all the buildings built close to the sea and to recommend
protective measures?

Whether they have read The 29th Annual State of the Climate report, compiled by NOAA’s Center for Weather and Climate at the National Centers for Environmental Information and published last in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society last Monday (12)?

In case they haven't here are the main
findings of the report:

“2018 was one of the hottest years on
record, and every year since the turn of the 21st century has been
hotter than any of the past century;

The combined direct warming influence
of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is now nearly 43% stronger than
in 1990;

Global carbon dioxide (CO2)
concentrations reached a record 407.4 parts per million. The
prevalence of other major greenhouse gases, such as methane and
nitrous oxide, also increased in 2018;

As of 2018, the world’s glaciers have
collectively lost mass 30 years in a row;

In March 2018, first-year ice (which is
especially prone to summer melting) accounted for up to 77% of the
ice cover, as compared to typically 55% during the spring peaks of
the 1980s;

Global sea surface temperatures in 2018
were 0.33°C above the 1980–2010 average - not as hot as 2016, but
enough to sustain the continued trend of 0.10°C increase per decade
since 1950 and the acceleration of the trend in this century;

This heating extends to the depths:
global ocean heat content from the surface down to 700 metres set a
record again in 2018;

For the seventh year in a row, global
annual mean sea level reached a record height as tracked in the 26
years of measurements using remote sensing by satellites.

Tropical cyclones were well above
average overall. There were 95 named tropical cyclones across all
ocean basins in 2018, well above the 1981–2010 average of 82.
Eleven tropical cyclones reached the Saffir–Simpson scale Category
5 intensity level. This was only one less than the record of 12
Category 5 tropical cyclones in 1997

The report is composed of six main
chapters: Global Climate, Global Oceans, The Tropics, The Arctic,
Antarctica and Regional Climates.”

“Central America and the Caribbean

Jamaica observed its highest annual
average maximum temperature since records began in 1971, while the
Bahamas reported its fifth highest annual average maximum
temperature. Conversely, the annual average maximum temperature for
Barbados was its third lowest.

Coral reef bleaching associated with
above-average sea surface temperatures, occurred across much of the
Caribbean during July–September.”

So can everyone in government.

I am worried. You should be worried.
However, our government leaders don't seem to be concerned at all.
