Tip of the iceberg....
Those nuclear plants not located on or near fault lines are located mostly in low-lying coastal areas.
The single trend in climate change data is that scientists are being
It is not safe for us to assume that major sea level rises will take decades.
On some risks it's o.k. to respond after-the-fact (which Americans excel at,) but climate change and nuclear risks are poor choices for that particular tack to work.
I'd rather we move cities and facilities and harden them for extremes now instead of evacuating and recovering from devastation later.
The Equatorial bulge of this planet has reversed direction in recent years, which means that stresses around the planet have shifted significantly. Such a shift is nearly certain to increase tectonic plate movements. When combined with tera-tonnes of melt water--which will tend to flow to the equator adding their mass to the stress, betting that places like New Orleans or Holland have decades to prepare is asking for disaster.
Being prepared for a disaster which comes late or never is infinitely better than being unprepared when disaster strikes.
We have millions of people out of work who could be working to prepare or working to clean up pollution--100's of billions of dollars worth of unused labor.
