If I had property or children I still wouldn't care. What happens when I'm dead doesn't bother me. Things that may happen after your death can still affect you while you are alive. If you were buying a house just now, low lying coastal may not be the smartest move. Might not have so much market value when you sell in the future. |

If the films of Kevin Costner are Scooby's reference point for reality, much is explained. |

"Things that may happen after your death can still affect you while you are alive."
PLEASE would someone sciency (Hammerhead?) take lala to task on this statement.
Unless cause / effect have been reversed or we have some time paradox going on that NZ is keeping secret, this has to be the best bit of idiocy printed on the board since Simon left.

Thought I made it sufficiently clear. You buy your dream house on the coast. Live there for e few decades. Decide to move into a cushy retirement home. Discover that people aren't interested in buying your demesne because it is perceived as at risk from future sea level rises.
So instead of enjoying your declining years in some swanky retirement village, playing bridge and doing crochet, you end up mouldering in some Hellish Hellhole of Hell, with yord.

But that is not caused by something happening after Van's death lala.
That is caused by perception which happens before. Mostly of course due to people worrying and complaining. So in effect lala YOU are causing Van to live in penury in her old age. I can see her having a right to sue you. Which I suppose you will characterise as you being affected by something that happens after your death.

Yes but "in the future" will be well within 100 years. Besides - I have absolutely no intention in ever, ever buying property in "low lying coastal areas". (It also assumes that a significant number of prospective buyers will be discouraged by the risk of rising sea levels at some point 60 or so years into the future.) |

I may well bleat about rising sea levels, but I don't think I've ever suggested we will be washed away by then (apart from those silly enough to live in Bangladesh and Indonesia and Holland and other dreadful places already prone to such misforrtune) and I have never, ever advocated living like a hippy.
As usual, you resort to childish fantasy in the absence of argument.

Yes Teacher, you have all the answers, but no solutions. Odd, I thought I gave a couple of suggestions a wee while ago - plant more trees and stop using so much fossil fuel. |

Good luck with that, you haven't thought it through have you?

Could start with, where are you planning to plant these trees. |

Interesting thing about beavers. "Beavers & Wetlands""Because beavers build their stick-and-mud dams in streams flowing through shallow valleys, the flooded area becomes freshwater wetlands. Such wetlands are rated by ecologists and economists as the land’s most beneficial ecosystem." www.beaversww.org/beavers-and-wetlands/For decades environmentalists have been decrying the loss of wetlands. And they were right to do so. But now, all of a sudden, wetlands are horrible for the planet and wildlife. |
