I tend to be quite cyinical on GW as well, but having said that, my house is exactly 1 foot away from the sea and over the years changes have happened that are quite noticeable when you live that close. We have increasing numbers of leatherback turtles in our waters, regular shark sightings and just this week a fisherman caught a Seahorse a mile from my home. We never saw any of these things 10 years ago. Maybe it is global warming, maybe it isn't, but whatever it is, changes are afoot and I would like to know what is actually causing them so my summer house doesn't become my pier in a few years time! :-S
I agree that changes are afoot. My problem has to do with the causes. Sounds like you live in a lovely place and I hope it stays that way. To me the jury is still out. Maybe no one will know what causes them, as if we can truly change what we did not create, or rather we may have to adapt to these changes over time as if they are entirely normal. Wish you well, hope you don't need stilts for that house!
