What would be the consequences of oceans rising of one meter over the next few decades?

How, if we continue to give priority to armaments, militarism and war, can we deal with urgent environmental problems like this?

Recent news reports support the analysis made by Alan Blanes in this article.  One is by the British Minister of the Environment, Michael Meacher, who says that the situation is far worse than anyone wants to realize.  An account of his speech in The Guardian of London is available on the Internet at The London Guardian.

Another report links the problem to the war in Iraq and to the consumerism of American society, which makes up five percent of the world's population and uses 42 percent of the world's energy.  This one is by none other than Michael Gorbachev and was reported by CNN on March 8.  To see it on the Internet, go to CNN Europe edition and put "Gorby" in the search box for cnn.com.
