Dear Editor,
It is perhaps useful to continue the commentary on global warming. Added perspectives may help in the overall discussion. The threat to Guyana’s coastal plain has been well defined, and this review looks at some alternatives.
Sea level elevation will be caused essentially by the melting of glacial ice, as opposed to that of sea ice which will have no effect. We are unlikely to wake up one morning to witness a flood of biblical proportions. Rather, one would be able to observe over the years, a gradual and creeping inability to remove excess water, either by use of pumps or natural drainage.
