In Colorado, that might be true ... we have these signs all over our mountains:

Thanks!
“one of algore’s inventions destroying the other.”
Very, very good!
At risk of being buried under rising seas? So what? Fiber around here is routinely buried under water in the spring. The fiber, as well as most other lines, run under ground through the road ditch right of way! Any time it rains hard or we have a lot of snow melt, they are under water. SMH!!
All hail Skynet.
Irony of ironies. Internet backbone runs traffic through 24/7 data centers that have exponentially increased consumption of coal. Now lib outfits like Fast Company are migrating content from print to online media, thereby exacerbating the fearful hoax of climate change,
If these people could step back and apply critical thinking, they might still be able to make useful contributions to society. Alas, they lack all capacity for objective analysis. Their complete and utter inability to recognize the irony of their own actions is quite amusing
Liberalism could kill it much faster
Thanks. :D
I guess I am just amazed that it is even possible.
You sayin you don’t pee?
The water is at the poles, where ice is at the highest levels since the early 19th century
Does that mean those un flyover country will have less internet competition? 8>)
In Colorado, that might be true ... we have these signs all over our mountains:
“While the buried fiber optic cables are designed to be water-resistant, they are not waterproof, and that means potential trouble for coastal residents who like the internet”
i think it’s actually going to be worse than just the coasts: once the seawater gets into the conduits along the coasts, it’s going to flood ALL the conduits in the entire country because, after all, the conduits are all underground and the seawater will seek the lowest level ...
On the other hand, shallow-water ocean drops are a lot cheaper than running through urban areas.
The leftists are so tiresome.
“Though in all fairness they’ve got NOLA as evidence....”
The sea is not rising, it is NOLA that is sinking as the soil it sits on, composed of swamp muck, compresses and sinks. River delta geology 101.
Oh no! Will it flood the undersea fiber optic cables that run between continents?
Women and minorities hardest hit.
In 15 years I’ll be dead so I don’t give a crap about the Internet/cables.
Put the SOBs on towers above ground and problem is solved.
If New York, Miami, and Seattle lose the Internet, America will be a better place. If we lose New York, Miami and Seattle, the carbon footprints of millions of leftists will cease to affect the climate. And, all that internet leftist poison will be silenced for good. I’m all for that.
I just hope that the museums, parks, and the Space Needle are saved (great view from the top, esp. at night).
>> ... and projections of sea level incursion from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).<<
I basically stopped reading there. If anything is based on NOAA “predictions”, it’s pretty much horsesh... um, “wrong”. Sorta like the 94 different computer simulations of Globull Warming... uh, Climate Change, none of which agree with the others. GIGO
“....4,000 miles...”
There are over 113,000 miles of fiber in the US internet system. 4,000 is mice nuts.
