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 took up swing dancing, 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.
