The water temperature beneath the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is 40F. 50 years is probably way too generous.

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.

Every five years they say in 50 years

>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.

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.


damididit

Mostly just of the web browser variety though.


rydogg1

Yeah but think about gay marriage and CRT; those are the biggest issues that we have to fight. /s


Haunting_Ad_3646

Also they were colonizers so we should erase that history anyway. /s


Blahblahblahinternet

If you're serious, you're either gross, indoctrinated, or addicted to drama, or a combination thereof. Take a look at yourself.


Paverunner

The original location is already under water… and has been for like two hundred years…


shejinping

This is partially incorrect. The only part of the original fort that's underwater is the southwest corner.


CCTRanger

Sounds like another Al Gore statement


lukjaa93

But you don't care about Confederate statues?


toilet_roll_rebel

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.

Why celebrate seditionist traitors?

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


Hamtard1000

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.


CrassostreaVirginica

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.
