• Becoming more flexible, open-minded, having a capacity to deal with change is a good thing. But it is far from the whole story.

Wave heights off the coast of England have risen an average of 25 percent over the past couple of decades, which converts to a twenty-foot increase in the highest waves over the next half century. One cause may be the tightening of environmental laws, which has reduced the amount of oil flushed into the oceans by oil tankers.
