RISING TIDES: Environmentalist (and CENTURY editor at large) Bill McKibben reports that according to one prediction up to 150 million people worldwide could become "environmental refugees" by the year 2050, "forced from their homes by rising waters. That's more than the number of political refugees sent scurrying by the bloody century we've just endured." No single hurricane can be attributed to global warming, McKibben admits, but there is evidence "that tropical storms are lasting half again as long, and spinning winds 50 percent more powerful, than just a few decades ago.
The only plausible cause: the ever-warmer tropical seas on which these storms thrive" (Newsday, September 14).
