#1 I thought the problem in Venice was that the city is sinking, not that the ocean is rising...

#2 Hush, TW.

Facts are irrelevant.

Please proceed to your nearest government education center for re-education.

Thank you.

#3 But I can't be re-educated, Darth Vader. I haven't finished being educated yet.

#4 I haven't finished being educated yet

Not a problem, TW. We are still not finished figuring out interestingly complex things like the weather or the sun.

And yes, in a world where the oceans are rising at a rate of a millimeter a year (a foot every 300 years), beach erosion and land subsidence are bigger problems than rising sea levels.

#5 "But its going to be RETREAT" ...

So-o-o IIUC, GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE + RISING SEAS + GUAM-WESTPAC > Year 2050-2100 = Coastal or seashore Villages may have to relocate themselves towards NEAR ANDOR ABOVE THE CLIFFLINES OF THE ISLAND'S NORTHERN PLATEAU + HIGH SOUTHERN RIDGES. MOUNTAINS, since low-lying land areas will become the NEW BEACHFRONT(S).

SUPER-STORMS + MINI-ICE AGES NOTWITHSTANDING.

The Great = Mighty Pacific Slushy.

versies

* WORLD NET DAILY [old?] > HOLY TOMBSTONE! EASTER SUNDAY ASTEROID ON PATH TOWARDS EARTH.
Russian Scientists says EARTH IMPACT in 2036 vee COMET APOPHIS is still possible, given normal gravity factors + extant circumstances in place at that times.

Lest we fergit, ME > GUAM,EARTH-VISIBLE MOON EXPLOSIONS ala Year 2030.

E.g. TOPIX > GLOBAL ERUPTIONS ROCK THE SUN [Sun-wide SOLAR EXPLOSION(S)].

In order for the various Pert forecasts as per magnitudinal GLOBAL TEMPERATURE CHANGES 2050-2100 TO HOLD TRUE, IMO THE SUN MUST GET HOTTER, i.e. release LARGER BIGGER SOLAR FLARES = CMES which in turn will affect Space Bolides, etc. like APOPHIS, MOON, + even EARTH + MAJOR PLANETS.

Lest we fergit II, MSM-NET's "PLANETARY/SYSTEMIC WARMING".

IOW, 2012-2013 TECHS-DAMAGING MASSIVE SOLAR STORMS, iff + when the same occurs as per NASA + Perts, will affect what occurs in 2030 + 2036, etc.
