Does that mean those un flyover country will have less internet competition? 8>)

“While the buried fiber optic cables are designed to be water-resistant, they are not waterproof, and that means potential trouble for coastal residents who like the internet”

i think it’s actually going to be worse than just the coasts: once the seawater gets into the conduits along the coasts, it’s going to flood ALL the conduits in the entire country because, after all, the conduits are all underground and the seawater will seek the lowest level ...

[WMarshal]

The leftists are so tiresome.

[WMarshal]

Oh no! Will it flood the undersea fiber optic cables that run between continents?

Women and minorities hardest hit.

>> ... and projections of sea level incursion from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).<<

I basically stopped reading there. If anything is based on NOAA “predictions”, it’s pretty much horsesh... um, “wrong”. Sorta like the 94 different computer simulations of Globull Warming... uh, Climate Change, none of which agree with the others. GIGO

“....4,000 miles...”

There are over 113,000 miles of fiber in the US internet system. 4,000 is mice nuts.

Gosh - current cable may get damaged - what was laid once can be laid again - even better......;-)

First the “study” was conducting not any initial independent research, or empirical test of any prior claims, but merely accepted, like religious faithful, a premise about the so-called rate of seal level rise. Accepting that rate on faith, not evidence, all else it needed was where are Internet traffic transmitting cables.

The one real SCIENTIFIC question they did not investigate was should they take as a matter of faith alone that seal level rise predictions have any accuracy. I think they need to go back and get a better education, learn to do their own due diligence and learn to do their own critical thinking.

This would effect the NSA et al’s ability to gather intel on the citizenry. Thus, the US Gubmint will be all over getting a solution.

[eyeamok]

but could be a reality in just 15 years, the study suggests.

Great then in 2033 I will Expect their IMPRISONMENT and CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE when their Fraudulent Claims of Doomsday don’t pan out
