Human impact of rising sea levels - stunning new report by two sosiologists

Two University of Wisconsin-Madison sosiologists have published a study of the "human impact of rising sea levels". In an online report, which according to EurekAlert will be published in the peer-reviewed journal Population and Environment Katherine Curtis, assistant professor of community and environmental sosiology and her colleague Annemarie Schneider describe their
stunning new findings:

"Not all places and not all people in those places will be impacted equally," says Katherine Curtis, an assistant professor of community and environmental sociology at UW-Madison.

PS
The Curtis/Schneider report is groundbreaking in its bold conclusions. Who could have guessed that "not all places and not all people in those places will be impacted equally"! Or that "children or elderly require a different approach"!
However, Curtis and Schneider missed one thing: the oceans are not rising.
