David Kim - Week 8 Global Warming

Future inland of San Francisco Bay Area

This week, rather than traveling far distance wise, I decided to take a trip into the future to see what lay in store for the human race.

It was a good thing that I had transported myself into the future after grabbing lunch with my wife at a place more inland as I found myself on the new coast.  Talking with some people that I saw, it appears that the majority of the San Francisco Bay Area was now under water and the inland cities were the new "bay."

I was told that it had actually been expected to be far worse than what had occurred.  However, once the world saw San Francisco go under water, they began to take the problem seriously and started making adjustments in order to slow down the damage.  There are apparently machines now which help take in carbon dioxide and output oxygen in order to help stem the increase in carbon dioxide levels.  This has led to a slowing of the green house effect, and while it has not brought back what I knew back in the 2000's, it has stemmed the worst damage that was expected.

New regulations have also been put in place in order to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide output from factories and apparently all of them run on clean energy.  That would make sense why even the roads here are solar panels.

I guess as I return, it's time to invest in some more land inland and at the same time try to bring more attention to this issue.
