Can you imagine a Caribbean minus its beaches? It's not science fiction, it?s climate change
I think that serious questions need to be asked about the long term future prospects in the age of rising seas and maybe increased hurricane action, for sure if we figure out the hurricanes are going to be more common now spending money after each one to rebuild increasingly gets to be a bad choice.
Beaches will be higher up the beaches, where the first dunes are now. Some islands will go and we will lose some land and houses, billions of Dollars will be lost. But I would be more concerned about metropolitan areas. That's where the people are and the real assets will be destroyed, if they are.
