The rising ocean is "going to shave off a ton of landscape along the coast," "A ton" is such a precise, scientific term.
Oh, I forgot. This isn't science. It's research grant fundraising.

They say a ton, we would say a truckload. That would be a pickup truck, a real truck could carry 20 tons, and that would really be noticeable along a hundred miles of coast line. If it were polonium.

"A ton" is such a precise, scientific term. Gee, if that's all it takes to fix this global warming whinging, let's chip in and buy a new ton of gravel to replace it.

"A ton" is such a precise, scientific term. The should use the more precise term "sh!tload." It's more fitting for this type of study.
