can't see past the lunacy of what Venice has done..... What exactly has Venice done??? What lunacy other than your own is evident??? 500 years ago they built a city in a flood zone?? That for 500 years the land has been sinking as a part of natural geological progression??? Do you actually think they have done nothing over the last 500 years until this very second and then in a moment of madness while standing knee deep in water voted to not buy electric buses?? WG.. liken this to New Orleans with a hurricane bearing down on them and all the levees are leaking. The city council meets and the Green party is there yelling that they need to pass a carbon tax. They do not pass a carbon tax but vote to spend the money on immediately building higher levees... Then the greens hit the internets calling what they did 'Lunacy'....

-------------------------

Um, it didn't flood until after they rejected the climate stuff.

I was right.

COLE: Um, it didn't flood until after they rejected the climate stuff.... Yep, Technically correct... But laughably doesn't understand anything. IF, during Hurricane Katrina, at the height of the storm there was a New Orleans city council, and the Green party called for a vote saying, 'Lets buy Electric buses and ban plastics' and the city council decided to do emergency repairs on the levees and pumps instead BECAUSE The electric buses would have taken a year to arrive and evacuees would have died of thirst because they wouldn't have thousands of cases of plastic water bottles available. It would indeed be technically correct to say that the city didn't flood until they voted down the electric buses.

-------------------------

It was a rain storm, not a cat 3 hurricane.

It flooded again at high tide yesterday.

And you do understand that Venice sits in a lagoon and that lagoon is open to the Adriatic Sea?

-------------------------
I was right.

You also do realize that on top of it being open to the Adriatic Sea it rained there for two weeks straight?!?!

Furthermore Venice is built on MUD!

It's sinking into that mud...and has been since it was built!

The problems with Venice have NOTHING to do with the climate change hoax....PERIOD!

They need to finish the levy system they started long ago and HAVE NOT FINISHED!

Spending money on the climate change hoax is an extreme waste as that money should have gone to the levy system!

MORONS!



-------------------------
The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED.
-BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is.
-They are both card carrying narcissists.
^These are PROVED facts.

COLE: .And you do understand that Venice sits in a lagoon and that lagoon is open to the Adriatic Sea...... Floods have been a part of life in Venice since its founding. In the 5th century, refugees who were fleeing from invaders came to this collection of boggy islands off of the mainland. In order to build, they drove a huge number of heavy wooden piles down into the mud to create a foundation. A CENTURY AGO, St. Mark's Square, the lowest point in Venice, flooded about nine times a year..... AND The European Plate is SINKING in the area where Venice was built. AND Venice was built in Mud, that mud is compressing under the weight of the buildings. AND Ground water was sucked out from under Venice increasing the speed of the land sinking into the sea. AND Waves from cruise ships and motorized boats have quickly eroded the centuries old footings on the buildings. Rain and wind (weather events not climate change) combined with a high tide cause Venice to flood. Yes it flooded again at high tide yesterday, just like it has for CENTURIES when the wind and rain combine with large high tides. Banning Plastic bottles and buying electric buses WILL DO NOTHING toward alleviating Venice's flooding problems.
