The beaches along the Eastern seaboard are about to disappear, says one EPA scientist. Why isn't anyone listening? - By Josh Harkinson, with additional reporting by Kate Sheppard - Slate Magazine: "Titus, the Environmental Protection Agency's resident expert on sea-level rise, first happened on Maryland's disappearing beaches 15 years ago while looking for a place to windsurf.
