Then as the southern part of Greenland turns green again, crops would become a big product.... Good! Jay's relatives will have a place to move after they get flooded out of Trinidad. Then, thanks to glacial rebound, they'll be stompin' in high cotton.

Gee you snow bunnies aren't used to the tropics! There are mountains down there. Trinidad is the eastern end of the Andes. There is plenty of uphill for people to move to. One of the great things about a large sea-level rise is that people can build things and wait for them to become submerged. For example, a submarine base could be built above ground, which is much easier to do than underwater, then wait for the tide to come in. Also, wharves, fish farms. Cities can be designed without the constraints of old roads, building and stuff blocking development. There's plenty of room to move uphill in Trinidad. Same with the Mississippi. New Orleans can be packed up onto paddle steamers and taken to St Louis or somewhere near the Rockies. Bangladeshis have got the Himalayas nearby or they could all move to Bangalore [1 km high, with burgeoning cyberspace industry and an equable climate]. This will have the added advantage of making a great number of people immune to any comet splashdowns in oceans. <The Northern Range of Trinidad is a series of strongly upfolded metamorphic formations of Upper Jurassic to Cretaceous age (approximately 130 million years ago). This includes Trinidad's highest mountain El Cerro del Aripo, 3085 feet, and Trinidad's oldest rock formations. It is the eastern most expression of the Andean mountain chain. This mountainous range is covered with various types of forests, starting with Littoral Woodlands along the coastlines, Evergreen Seasonal Tropical Forests in the lower elevations, Lower Montane Rainforest in elevations from 500 to 2,500 feet, Upper Montane Rainforest in elevations above 2,500 feet, and Elfin Woodlands covering the highest mountains' peaks. The Northern slopes meet the Caribbean Sea, and the southern slopes end in the Caroni plains. > Mqurice
