Yes, but those local farmers have gone to meet their makers long ago, and their offspring couldn't be bothered with farming.

true!

in the future watch the rich buy all the high ground the rest will have to paddle

I would not bet against your prediction.

It will to have to rise by 200m to cause us to move, you are welcome th come and stay Prof

Pontyfract Butter Cross wikk be the last dry area after 94m rise

Co's Ponte' castle was built on high ground - sod england We're safe from rising water levels

If all your fields and pastures are flooded, where will you grow the vegetables that you eat?

the entire area is high groundland-wise

That means a *lot* of people will come swarming (or swimming) into those lands.

those that own land will make a killing

but wars will start in the world for land when the waters rise

Los Angeles/Santa Monica are supposed to be among those areas flooded out.

The idea of that makes our infighting about real estate prices and gentrification seem all too petty.

And what of Polynesian civilizations?? Washed away with no traces except in museums???

And while sea water will be in abundance, potable water may not be..

Sorry for the excessive pessimism.
I'll now.

Mankind's instinct for survival will result in "wars" for higher ground irrespective of countries etc, when the water levels rise due to climate change
It'll start with land prices going up first, then the "infighting" starts

I'm glad I wont be around to see it

And I hope to be absent as well, .
I intentionally miss disaster movies these days. No need to see things unraveling in real time.

I have my friends in hootoo now! I only look to the future, that one day I might meet them in person

I would love to meet all of you in person.

Maybe they'll build a bigger, better Titanic that won't sink this time, and we can all go on a cruise together.

until the advent of computers and the internet etc - "we" didn't actually know that "we" existed.
But now! finances and distances apart, ruin a good friendship in a sense
To share a handshake// to be shown around each others areas etc, to learn about and experience a friends locale - where ever in the world - THAT would be TRUE

PS:- Of my friends around the world, some are actually closer friends than ones "locally" I've known for years

Maybe that's because we can't pass gar over the Internet. And when we hum irritating tunes, you don't hear us doing it.

NAH! it's just that I prefer to knock about with good guys even on't net, most of my "mates" aren't very good conversationalists so tend to be boring after a few minutes
