7102: Climate Change and Small Islands (fwd)
From: Max Blanchet <maxblanchet@worldnet.att.net>
The Third Assessment on Global Warming is out.
It is entitled:
"Climate Change 2001: Impact, Adaptation and Vulnerabilty"
at: www.ipcc.ch/pub/spm19-02.pdf
The section on small islands (pages 18-19) is particularly relevant
to Haiti. Also relevant is the chart on the last page that shows
projected changes in runoffs for variou regions of the world.
The chart shows substantial reductions for Haiti. Given the
advanced state of deforestation in the country, this is less than
comforting ....
