mega maptation

In regards to global warming, I think it would be an interesting to investigate not only the rise in sea levels but also the causes of the harmful effects, the levels of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions on a global scale. For example, one source includes tables with the breakdown of the percentage of carbon monoxide that comes from cars, the projected emissions from each continent, and the level in which it is a problem in cities around the globe just to name a few. A series of layers could be generate to relate the two to one another. In addition, the location of megalithic structures could be incorporated as an element of the past and how former civilizations built around the rise of the sea.

i think you have done much background research to make this a worthwhile study. have any of you watched the film, "An Inconvenient Truth"? you, in particular, should watch it.
