For those new to this thread, here is a brief history of global warming…
The ever irreverent British started global warming some two hundred years ago. They did this by placing coal burning furnaces in their factories, in and around London. This was done in response to winter ice, which was forming on the River Themes.
Around this time, the ever inventive Americans were building New York City. They realized that if a few factories around London could melt ice on the Themes, then someday, many factories around the word, could melt all of the ice. Armed with this foresight, the Americans built their city.
New Your has long north south avenues, bisected by numerous east west streets. Natural canals so to speak. They built their city up, and up, and up. Small buildings are several hundred feet high, with taller building rising up to one thousand feet above sea level.
Contrast this to London, where the streets and avenues are a hodgepodge, running hither and yon around the compass. You can’t find your way around that city, when the streets are above water. Next, contrast the height of the buildings. The highest point in London, and indeed the only point which shall remain above the water, is the bell tower of Big Ben.
On a side note, BBC World News reported today that they arrested a man in London, caught attaching dock mooring along the bell tower of Big Ben. He had in his possession, drawings, of a rather large lens. It took a while to assemble the drawings, as they were cut up into many thousands of pieces. Sources say he just kept repeating over and over again, “It will never work.” Police say he will be kept under close observation.
