WASHINGTON -- What will become of the nation's capital?
The huge West Antarctic ice sheet is slowly collapsing, and two groups of scientists say the melting is now an unstoppable event.
Melting ice will cause sea levels to rise higher than initially projected, which is cause for concern for D.C.-area scientists and local urban planners.
The rising seas will affect local treasures, including the Chesapeake Bay and the country's iconic monuments along the National Mall.

We could wish that DC would “dry up” (all its inane yacking). But if by flood, then by flood. It would be biblically apropos in a way. The whole earth won’t be flooded. That was a promise.

When ice melts, the water level drops. The only exception is when inland ice melts.

Every day that Washington DC is incapacitated by the weather is a good day for America.

The disturbing thing is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to speed this up.

Install a sump pump in the White House basement and install marine navigational lights on the tops of all the monuments. Problem solved.
