The Problem with China Bashing

This will start a trend in musical pictures.

It ain't gonna stop.

You mean an early clue to the new direction?

Don't be afraid of the wind or the birds or the waves of the sea.

And I'm trying to start it as a movement.

So the project really addresses these three core issues in a new and exciting way, I think.

The destruction of mangroves in coastal areas may increase hazards associated with storm surge.

So when the moist breeze blows in off the sea, you get these droplets of water forming on the beetle's shell.

At Battery Park, on Manhattan s south end, the surge height reached 4.2 meters, flooding homes and businesses and plunging millions into darkness. Waves also reached extreme heights, with a buoy near the entrance to New York Harbor measuring a peak wave ten meters high, from crest to trough.

Although Sandy, at its peak, was only a post tropical cyclone when it hit the US, its winds spanned an area of 1,800 kilometers (1,100 miles), leading to extreme storm surges and waves that decimated the Jersey Shore, flattening communities and destroying the casinos and boardwalks on which the local economy largely depends. At Battery Park, on Manhattan s south end, the surge height reached 4.2 meters, flooding homes and businesses and plunging millions into darkness.

Other examples to consider. In the U.K., the Thames Barrier protects London from storm surge.

With a surge height of 7 10 meters, and flooding at some locations extending 20 kilometers inland, Katrina caused catastrophic damage to the Gulf Coast, which has yet to be fully repaired. In 1989, Hurricane Hugo struck near Charleston, South Carolina, with a surge height of nearly four meters.

Seven years earlier, Hurricane Katrina struck the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in the US as a Category 3 storm. With a surge height of 7 10 meters, and flooding at some locations extending 20 kilometers inland, Katrina caused catastrophic damage to the Gulf Coast, which has yet to be fully repaired.

In the wake of accelerating revitalization of the countryside, Zhejiang tourist towns will receive a more abundant and wonderful story.

I have therefore called for a global warning system, covering not only tsunamis but also other natural disasters, such as storm surges and cyclones.

But it would be an orgasm nonetheless.

Literally scrambling through what's called pressure ice the ice had been smashed up under the pressure of the currents of the ocean, the wind and the tides.

We're watching the rising of the stars and the shifting of the tides.

The lakes on the bottom he's always watched them how water rises or drops.

Currents.

And here's a map of that condition, showing the contaminants in yellow and green, exacerbated by this new flow of storm surge and sea level rise.

While we are here discussing this issue, the effects of erosion, storms and tide surges are already being felt in the Marshall Islands.

So what am I trying to say? I'm trying to tell you that there's a new wave on the continent.

New Wave

The tide's out.

It's humid.

The tide is turning.

Recent natural disasters, such as the 26 December Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, triggered an unprecedented wave of solidarity around the world.

A sudden decision.

It's wet.

The tide has turned.

And basically, our challenge is to optimize the benefits and mitigate the risks of living on a planet that's driven by only two processes, two sources of energy, one of which is solar, that drives the winds, the waves, the clouds, the storms and photosynthesis.

I am Teochew.

Hmm! Attracts lots of people.

Winds and waves

It's too damp!

Hate the smell of dampness, don't you?

That wave is much larger, much more powerful, and that's of course the wave of technology.

XTide Tide Predictor

That's not timely.

The New Baby Boomers

Spur of the moment sort of idea.

I remember water.

The tide's in!
