Has anyone blamed global warming yet?
Oh that’s sure to come.....but Venice has been going down hill for a long time......this will ruin their tourist trade for awhile.
Officials did try to blame GW, but admitted it is a seasonal event...this one worse than the one 50 years ago——on ABC evening news.
The mayor of Venice. https://nypost.com/2019/11/13/venice-mayor-climate-change-to-blame-for-apocalyptic-flooding/
Oh yeah...first thing out of the mayor’s mouth. The full moon and high winds pushing the water have absolutely nothing to do with it.
Total BS...its happened before, this one is not the worst...just second worst since like 1912 or so when they started keeping records...dates many be off but its not like its been forever.
St. Marks and the Doge’s Palace and all the shops have seen this before.
MEANWHILE, they have a mechanical barrier that has been under construction since 2003 and after billions of euros, is still not working or finished.
Aqua Alta: its a real thing and has been for, like, EVER.
We were there a last month. Sad to see this but in a week or so it will be all cleaned up and the crowds will be just like they were.
