Do you have a source on Venice? That seems totally false. I’ve been there and seen 500 year old buildings. This aeticle indicates that some steps have submerged

  I may have been exaggerating for effect about Venice ;) But it is a city built in a swamp, and is slowly sinking (still), and has been for hundreds of years. People adapt to the strangest conditions... I meant that the "best-case" outcome is as likely as the "worst-case" outcome, which is usually the one reported in the papers. Obviously there's a bell-curve of probably outcomes, and the most likely is somewhere in the middle. But given the perverse incentives of reporting, both in the scientific and general press, you really need to read the papers themselves to get an idea of what the "middle" really is.
