will your house will be flooded? (none / 0)

So I got curious about dear old California...and while SF loses all its bay front (back to the ocean from whence it came), another "bay area" just as large forms between Sacramento and the coastal foothills (where the Sacramento, San Joaquin and Sierra rivers all come together). Then I got curious about the Sea of Cortez...and it looks like the Salton sea becomes linked to that!! Hm,, maybe buy some land south of Salton sea now, and it will be beach front for our grandkids...<ouch>

Think how much of the US's fruit and vegetables are growen in the Central Valley. When you mutliply that across the variety of economic activities in the US and Europe, the economic impact is in the Trillions of dollars.

Well, the area that becomes an inland bay is now rice fields...fruit and nuts are grown at higher elevations, so won't be as impacted...but California is a major rice exporter...
