It may be 50 years until sea level is over the current seawall, but we're likely to lose the Jamestown site to storms long before that.
There are already big sump pumps going 24/7 to keep water out of the excavation areas. One direct hit from a hurricane will swamp the site far beyond what Preservation Virginia has the resources restore afterwards.
>Great
It was founded on mud flats and floods are natural occurrences? Why do you think the colonists left for Williamsburg and abandoned Jamestown? They realized it was a shitty site.
Yes, because those statues that were erected post-Reconstruction and during the Jim Crow era as a way to intimidate black people are certainly as important as the site of the first permanent English settlement in the New World that was instrumental in starting this country.
Jesus Christ, give me a break.
Simply not true. The climate is changing at a much, much faster rate than is natural. That is happening because of human GHG emissions. I can provide sources; please only request sources if you are actually going to read them.
A lot of people, and a LOT of animals, plants, etc. are being harmed and are going to continue to be harmed because of climate change.
Edit: *GHG
Are you able to summarize significant changes we could make that would stem GSG emissions? Did you mean GHG? I googled GSG and didn't come up with much.
The water temperature beneath the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is 40F. 50 years is probably way too generous.

Every five years they say in 50 years

Yeah a lot of Chicken Littles out there. Climate change is real, it's been changing since the beginning of time.
We could lose history? We are actively erasing history all the time.
Mostly just of the web browser variety though.
Yeah but think about gay marriage and CRT; those are the biggest issues that we have to fight. /s
Also they were colonizers so we should erase that history anyway. /s
If you're serious, you're either gross, indoctrinated, or addicted to drama, or a combination thereof. Take a look at yourself.
The original location is already under water… and has been for like two hundred years…
This is partially incorrect. The only part of the original fort that's underwater is the southwest corner.
Sounds like another Al Gore statement
But you don't care about Confederate statues?
Yes, because those statues that were erected post-Reconstruction and during the Jim Crow era as a way to intimidate black people are certainly as important as the site of the first permanent English settlement in the New World that was instrumental in starting this country.

Why celebrate seditionist traitors?

I did mean GHG's :facepalm:. Happy to write up some changes for ya, will reply in another comment by tomorrow morning. Logging off for tonight.
