Venice flooding is the worst in 50 years, and the mayor blames climate change
So here we have a true world treasure that is threatened by rising seas, presumably attributable to Climate Change.
Certainly, nothing anyone does w/r/t "greenhouse gases" in the next twenty years is going to reverse the microscopic rise in sea levels that have imperiled this lovely, historic city, but it would be nice and instructive if the world's engineering community worked with the government of Italy to devise an ENGINEERING SOLUTION that will save the city and its unique character.
And once that is underway, the same or similar precautions can be taken to protect other similarly-situated inhabited areas, if they are worth it (which excludes Manhattan, of course).
Should the Donald offer to help?
