After the Quinault adopted a comprehensive climate change policy in 2008, tribal leaders traveled to U.N. climate talks in Poznan, Poland, hoping to compare notes with a variety of nations -- including the United States.
"When we arrived at the United States' door, we got the '6 inch' treatment -- the door opened 6 inches, and they asked, 'What do you want?'" Sharp said. "When we went to Denmark and Germany, the door was open. They gave us cookies. They wanted to have a nice conversation about climate change."

12 - 14 inches of SLR in 10 - 15 years? Wow. That means about 25 mm/yr.
One little problem. Sea level rise around Washington state and Vancouver Island has been about 0 mm/yr since 1990. Its been about 0 mm/yr for the past 100 years.
