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.

Wasn’t = Was not
I guess it should have been.. Is not DC a swamp already?
Well WTF then. If it’s unstoppable why spend any more time and money trying to keep it from happening.
F*cking idiots.
Boston’s Back Bay is all filled in land.

“Is not DC a swamp already?”
LOL. I think you have it.
“Boston’s Back Bay is all filled in land.”
Yes, but it contains Fenway Park, which is far more precious than anything in DC, except maybe a few things in the Smithsonian and the Constitution, BOR, and other things that are easily transported.
I’d love to do a dive and see Abe Memorial.
Excellent!
A basic law of nature that these scientist cannot get their heads around. Sure must be some smart SOBs.
WAIT! Wasn’t Obama going to rise the Ocean level? Well looks like that is one promise he kept.
Did anyone happen to notice that recently Obama said he was going to push more on this topic and then reports started to hit the media is mass from all directions.
If that does not tell you that this is all coordinated and driven by politics then nothing will. It has nothing to do with science and everything to do with a power grabbing agenda.
This thread is useless without pictures —
Send some to New Mexico, I haven’t seen 6 inches of rain total over the last 2 years.
This thread has kept me smiling for a good while! :)
Call for Chicken Little-call for Chicken Little
Another prime example of why Global Warming (TM) is a good thing!
