When the North Pole Melts
by
Captain Sea Level
Facing abrupt climate change in the Arctic, a
major consumer-goods manufacturer considers three options to adapt to global
warming: reduce output, relocate factory to the south, or fundamental product
change.
Captain Sea Level sang songs about sea level rise at various forums in coastal
states during the 1980s. The Captain and his friends at the Environmental Protection
Agency Chorus originally performed this environmental song at the Climate
Institute's First International Conference in Washington, D.C. just before
Christmas 1988. Shortly thereafter, the Captain bought a
windsurfer and was never heard again. For that, we can all be thankful. The
other singers continue to perform in the Washington area.
