Global Warming PEI

On march 21 2007 Charlottetown Guardian had an article stating that global warming will have, and is having a major impact on P.E.I. Issues include, rising water level, storm surge, and subsidence of land. PEI's main assets are scenery, historic properties, and beaches, all of these are in danger. Areas which have already lost shoreline include Maritime Electric generating station, energy from waste plant, waste water treatment center and 335 heritage properties. P.E.I. National Park has already lost shoreline in the 2004 december storm because the shoreline was not protected by ice. Global warming is already presenting problemsand we must adapt quickly.
