Roman glowbull heat attack caused the glass-ee-yurs to melt.

Yep, what can we conclude, but that global warming in Roman times caused the sea levels to rise in Venice. It must be global warming. Everything is caused by global warming.

I thought that Venice was sinking. not that the seas were rising? There are plenty of ports on the Mediterranean which are still at the same level they were in Roman times.

“Everything is caused by global warming.”

You forgot “and racism”.

The road is covered by 25 feet of water. If the Romans built the road 10 ft above sea level, that means the sea rose 35 feet in the past 2,000 to 2,500 years. I don’t think so.

Instead of “Roman Times” and “Present”, shouldn’t the comparison photos be labeled “Pre-Climate Change” and “Post-Climate Change”? ... although that would likely created a debate over science which ... a debate over differing opinions ... something the Left fears, something the Left cannot tolerate (much like a silver spike in the heart of a vampire to kill it).

Strange that the article gives no indication of how far the seas rose or, alternately, how far the land subsided (unlikely). Probably doesn’t fit the global warming/ice cap melting fear agenda. U. of Bremen classics Professor Gunnar Heinsohn thinks there may have been an astrophysical catastrophe around the late 200’s AD known as the Plague of Justinian that destroyed cities around the Mediterranean. He also feels that archaeological dating is a total hairball and that 700 years have been erroneously inserted into the historic record around that time. Velikovsky felt that ancient Near East history had been stretched erroneously by about 500 years. Google them.

There are also several Roman ports in Italy that are now inland.

LOL,

When the temperatures did rise for a while, they were also rising on Mars and Venus. CO2 and my gas guzzling car, or that fireball putting out 3.86 x 10^26 Watts that has been known to fluctuate in output?

As a child I was in Italy and Spain a few times each. I remember going down cobblestone roads that were Roman built. Why is it, those Romans can build a road and 1,975 years later it’s still a working road, but today with all our high tech and machines, we can’t build a road to last 20 years?

The Romans knew how to build shit.

In addition to his wisdom and intellectual brilliance, Mr. Buckley had the uncanny ability to deliver a stab in the heart of leftist philosophy with aplomb and polish.

The area around Venice is a marsh.
The land may have very well sunk 35 feet in 2000 years.

So man caused climate change isn’t responsible for rising g seas after all? Who knew. (Everyone knew, even the lying climate change agendists that call themselves scientists knew) climates change, seas rise and fall, all. Because of nature, not co2. Temps always rise first, 100’s of years. Before co2 rises, proving that co2 is not driving temperatures. But they lying agendists have stolen the narrative and now control the language and blame man
