When Joseph Heller died in December 1999 the swathe of admiring and affectionate obituaries that ensued were almost all, in my opinion, guilty of a degree of intellectual laziness.

 Oren Harari - Articles Page
Heller describes the Tsangpo as "one of the deepest river gorges on earth,...a cauldron of savage white water and unrunnable rapids...The seven kayakers who launched their boats down its roaring throats...were either going to die-or emerge transformed." In other words, this was not your average summer family white water "adventure".
Anyone can set a big goal, anyone can have a dream, but those who are manic enough to average 200 days a year through pretty hairy white water just might have the commitment, the temperament, the discipline and the skills for a reality-based optimism necessary for taking on a hare-brained scheme called the Tsangpo.
Much of the way, the river was bounded by towering rock walls, and in many places, the steep descent of the gorge effectively meant--forward or perish.

Rising sea levels could displace tens of millions of people in low-lying river deltas in countries such as Bangladesh and India as well as in small island states, potentially disrupting the livelihoods of poor people by reducing the amounts of goods and services available from ecological systems, such as coral reefs, mangrove swamps, and forests.
Projections based on computer models suggest that instances of extreme weather—such as heavy and variable precipitation, heat waves, coastal storm surges, cyclones, and flooding—are likely to become more frequent and intense and to have a growing economic impact, much like an external economic shock (see chart).
