I just saw a PBS Special on Global Warming that predicted that  
Kirimati, along with Bangladesh, will be among the first countries to  
be submerged if the sea level continues to rise. Perhaps we should  
start looking around for another country with higher elevation and  
near the International Dateline to serve as the symbolic opening  
bell. Any suggestions? According to  Al Gore, we only have a couple  
of years.
