It could be that small northern rivers gets smaller and shallower as land raises due to glacier pressure as well as amount of melt water reduction. Poor salmon fish. <strong>Rex Weyler</strong>: As ice sheets on land melt, yes, pressure is released and the land actually rises slightly. Reduced glacial run-off and changes in rain patterns, however, will determine the flow of rivers. All glacier-fed rivers are in danger of reduced flow. “As Alaska Glaciers Melt, It’s Land That’s Rising” there was an article in NT (May 17, 2009) about the GW phenomenon.

Somehow holding back, curbing action, is always seen as a negative, but it is the foundation of non-violence, and life. <strong>Rex Weyler</strong>: Readers: check out Andrea Peloso's great website: www.ditchyourfridge.blogspot.com.

It's just the kind of antidote we need for those who say that ecologists and ecological economists are all problem and no solution. Problem is, of course, that the kind of realistic solutions we propose from full-cost pricing to genuine regional eco-cities (bioregions) to steady state economies are anathema to mainstream 'thinkers' and those heavily invested in the status quo. It's much easier for them to condemn and dismiss us as 'Dr Doom' (in my case) than it is to engage in serious discussion of the options we propose.
