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?
Is there any level of bullshit that alarmist can foist on people like you that you won't believe? Any level at all? Venice is made up of about a hundred islands that are sitting in the middle of a shallow lagoon. Venice experienced its worst flood in 1966 and they "said" that they were going to work on flood control projects to avert the next worst flood. Unfortunately, the programs were riddled with corruption and other problems and like New Orleans, simply wasn't prepared for the inevitable floods that happen when you live on small islands in a f'ing lagoon.
So...rather than admit that the city really didn't get anything done in regard to their promise to build flood control measures, the mayor blames climate change as if the city has never flooded before. It is the knee-jerk reaction of socialists I guess....if there is anything to blame problems on other than their own ineffective leadership, then blame it on that...whatever it may be...When New Orleans floods...blame climate change even though the city is below sea level and the construction of levies to hold back the ocean was so poor that they may as well have hand school children piling sand from sand buckets...and when california burns due to land mismanagement, blame climate change...the dupes will believe it..
Sea level in venice has been rising at a rate of about 1.4mm per year...the land venice is built upon is sinking at a rate of about 2.3mm per year and they just keep building on it...the same thing is happening in miami...the land is sinking and they just keep building more condos on it...and when they flood, it must be climate change...
Since it is obvious that you would never think to actually check to see if the 2019 flood in venice was the worst EVAH....here, let me provide you with some photos for comparison...
If climate change were even partly to blame, then a thinking person would expect that the 2019 flooding would be worse than the 1966 flooding. It isn't, which i guess, means that nether you, nor any of your alarmist peers are actually thinking people...You are knee jerk, chicken little handwaving hysterics... Clearly the floodwaters were much higher in 1966 than the recent flood, then factor in that the land has been sinking at a rate of 2.3 mm per year since the flood of 1966...cearly, the flood of 2019 was not much more than a simple rainstorm which would not have flooded anything had the same amount of rain fell in 1966.
In short..you people are nothing more than useful idiots who go about thinking that climate change is the worst thing humanity is facing...What exactly is it like to be that stupid?
