From Think Progress:

The Natural Resources Council of Maine this week released "one of the most complete depictions ever done of the potential impacts on Maine's coastline from rising sea levels due to global warming."

Using the latest available science, NRC's analysis shows that coastal businesses, homes, wildlife habitat, transportation systems, and some of the state's most treasured places are highly vulnerable to sea-level rise.

One "treasured place" in extreme risk is the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport (noted by the yellow arrow below). The area in orange shows land that will be submerged by a sea level rise of 6 feet; the area in red will be underwater after a rise of just 3 feet.

A little enlightened self-interest Bushie?
