I just attended a talk by one of the co-chairs of the Global Climate Change 
 reports - both IPCC part II and also for New York City. NYC has a plan in 
effect  for all divisions and support services to immediately plan for 
higher  temperatures in the summer which would lead to overloads of electrical 
systems  and heat induced illnesses, higher tides with flooding of services 
near the  water's edge and more and more intense storms.
 
Since many C27/C270 owners have their boats on the coasts, I'm thinking  
that in interesting topic for all would for those owners to share their  
perceptions of the effect of the forecast climate change on their marinas and  
sailing situations.
 
For background, I have my boat and sail on Lake Erie. The predictions for  
Lake Erie are difficult since the changes depend greatly on what happens to 
the  jet streams - which in themselves are variable. 
 
Comments?
