Sea level rise will swallow Miami, New Orleans, study finds

I can do it for like 40 minutes.  In a pool.  Slowly.  Under the right conditions, e.g. water temperature, etc. 

How far away is your apartment from the Peak?

Google says 24 minutes by car.

Sounds like a swimming commute to work, and with the currents?

Sorry to say you may have to spend money on a boat. I wonder if your wife will be ok with a small cheap boat.

That's totally unrealistic.  The boat isn't terribly expensive.  The space to park it is.  And the membership fees for one of those clubs is insane.  Sailing is for the super rich only.

You should invest in moorage futures.  The demand is about to rise.

There is indeed a market for the yacht club memberships.  It is considered a speculative vehicle.  But only for the super-rich.  I have no idea, but I fully expect such a membership to cost at least six US$ figures.  Probably a lot more than that.  Certainly not for plebs or wage slaves.

BTW mono, what floor is your flat on?

Below 20.

Below 20.

Oh oh, I hope it is high enough so you can keep your flat.

Will the structure be able to withstand having several floors underwater?

"And it is hard to imagine how we could defend Miami in the long run."

Agreed.

There was a time this was true. One team lined up Clinton Portis and Najeh Davenport at RB, Santana Moss, Reggie Wayne, and Andre Johnson at WR, and Jeremy Shockey at TE. That era is over.

Oh please, take your facts and common sense to some other thread highjack.

Obama doesn't care about black people.

Humanity could go full nuclear. If we're serious about doing shit.

Will the structure be able to withstand having several floors underwater?

the structure, short term, yes.  It's the foundation on which the structure is built, the sand, that won't support it.  It will erode and melt, so the structure will start leaning one way.  that is what will happen first.  If he's lucky and he's built on rock, than the steel used fore the structure above ground will rust and lose resistance over time.  But before that, there will be moisture in the lower levels rendering the place uninhabitable.

What if they just apply some sealant, or wrap the steal frame in saran wrap?
