Roman glowbull heat attack caused the glass-ee-yurs to melt.
cool!
Climate change. Save Venice!
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.
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.
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.
Very cool!
Horse fart methane.
With all the glo-bull warming nonsense going around I would say that the road was probably sunk in an earthquake in the distant past.
I have read of a Roman era temple well above sea level that shows it had barnacles on it at one time from being submerged.
Venice is built on marsh land. It is sinking.
Let that S I N K I N.
So sea levels are not rising. The land is sinking.
This can be confirmed by checking all around Italy’s coasts and seeing that the sea level in numerous other locations has changed very little.
This story violates the Global Warming narrative.
The internet cartel will probably send it to the memory hole.
before sea levels rose and flooded the area
phooey....the city is built on soft mushy land and the building sank and compressed the substrate.
I thought that Venice had been, was, and is, sinking into the original marshlands it was built on...
Venice sinking doesn’t have a damn thing to do with man-made global warming, it’s sinking because of plate tectonics. The Adriatic plate is being subducted (shoved underneath) the Appenine plate. Been happening for millions of years.
