The Rising by Tom Pollock and Jack Seybold
- Location: 10012
- Marching Since: March 31, 2006
- Impact: 4 marchers
Because of our concern about the danger to the planet and its people from
global warming, we imagined a catastrophic near future which has partly come
to pass. In our novel The Rising: Journeys in the Wake of Global Warming,
Hurricane Katrina's civil horror and failed government is multiplied on
every coast and survivors escape with their lives. Antarctic ice collapses
and global panic ensues. The East Coast is devastated, and California's
water system is crippled by rising sea level. The world is changed forever
by the phenomenon of global warming. We hope that the events in our novel
are merely exaggerations of what are unfortunately very real perils.
