Scumbria,

At current rise rates, the Thames will put London under about 2 feet of water by mid-century. Do you find this amusing?

In fact, I do. It assumes you are correct about the "current rise rates" and it assumes that these rates will continue to be the same for next 50 years.

Actually, I find all of the predictions amusing if they start with "At current rise rates ...".

I saw a prediction about the increasing size of Arnold's biceps that was based on a similar premise.

Joe

Scumbira,
RE:"Silicon valley is the promised land for my profession. I would gladly live somewhere else, but I would have to spend a lot of time commuting."

I see, this is why you burn up all that jet fuel watching the polar ice cap dissappear while commuting to Europe?

Jim
