SocraticGadfly: Much of the Sacramento Delta could be underwater

Much of the Sacramento Delta could be underwater

This is a great, short post from High Country News, and very timely in the wake (no pun intended) of the tsunami from Japan.

By the end of this century, much of the Sacramento River Delta could indeed be underwater. So could much of Olympia and Tacoma, Wash.

That map doesn't show the effects of a tsunami; that's just projected global-warming related sea level rise.
