Global Warming and Hawaii

From dKosopedia

Questions to ponder

How would a foot to four foot or more rise in sea levels affect shoreline housing and coastal transportation?
How would it affect Waikiki, the main economic engine of the state?
Will Hawaii be much warmer and drier?
Will the mosquitos move into native forests upslope and kill off native birds?
Will there be more and stronger hurricanes to deal with?
Will our governments be able to deal with massive physical and climactic change?
What does this mean for the average resident?
