Global Warming and Me
The EPA has a paper on the impact of global warming on Washington State. We live on Lake Sammamish, about 40 feet above sea level. Puget Sound is expected to rise 1 to 3 feet by 2100, so we still have 37 feet left. Rainfall is expected to increase 10 percent and temperatures up 4 or 5 degrees. We already get a lot of rain and 10 percent more would make Lake Sammamish itself more likely to flood. The warmer temperatures would be more welcome.
