Last weekend was Easter, and I wasn’t able to get a sticky up. I apologize. This weekend’s sticky comes from a National Geographic article arguing that the water stored in dams and reservoirs is keeping sea levels from rising at the normal rate. This, in turn, is causing faulty data about the actual amount of water available to raise the sea levels. Since much of the world has stopped building these huge dams and reservoirs the sea level will start rising faster now, and may end up rising twice as much as originally anticipated.
What does this have to do with Sticky Note Stories, you ask? After Ancient is a story about sea levels rising 1000ft, and while I know this isn’t possible, I am always looking for scientific facts and data that will back up a greater-than-predicted sea-level rise. Even with this data the sea levels will even out at 40ft higher than normal, which is a long cry from 1000ft, but every little bit helps.
