“Rising sea levels could leave internet cables underwater within 15 years, study says”
God’s net neutrality plan.
Wasn’t New York supposed to be under water by now?
Rising sea levels could leave internet cables underwater within 15 years, study says
Another government grant wasted.
They are TOTALLY unreliable.
I call them, ‘InAccuWeather’ as in, “InAccuWeather says it’s going to rain, so don’t bother to take an umbrella!” ;)
It's raining in Florida, should I blame Global Warming? No, it's natural!!!
This should be accompanied by Oldeconomybuyer’s picture of Joe Goebbels.
Which leads me to wonder..... Why did they place the cables 2 inches above water level in the first place?
Seriously, the left is so invested in climate doom that they have gone into an irrational world of a bizarre fantasy. Their minds may be unrecoverable at this point.
I was totally unaware that they are floating today.
LOL - I see what you did :)
Can’t wait for 15 years from now to see how foolish this is......when there is little to no sea rise........
As a past owner of a large fiber optic system I can say a pole broke and our aerial fiber fell in a pond. That was 10 years ago. It still works just fine.
Well, Al Gore said that parts of New York would be under water, by his calculation from his stupid movie, this year.
Fifty five years ago I read a novel that I have forgotten the name of. It dealt with a mastermind who was going to blow up underwater cliffs in the north Atlantic allowing the gulf stream to penetrate the Arctic, melt the ice and flood the low lying parts of the world.
It appears flooding the world is still the nightmare of some people.
Meanwhile on the West Coast it used to be fear of earthquakes dropping Cali into the ocean. Remember this song from 1969?
Day after day, more people come to L.A.
Ssh! Don’t you tell anybody the whole place is slipping away.
Where can we go when there’s no San Francisco?
Ssh! Better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho.
Just have a Wifi with repeaters every 100 ft.
I remember when the GPS satellites were going to stop working because of Republicans cutting the budget.
Keep in mind, this is just a study. Hopefully a commission is assembled and staff hired to investigate the legitimacy of the findings.
Don’t recall that song.
I moved to Hollywood in ‘68 and experienced a number of minor quakes - enough to shake & shimmy buildings I was in at the time.
I still recall the Manson murders were more prevalent in the news than any quake tremors...perhaps because they occurred just a few minutes from my Hollywood apt.
Eventually, I regained my senses and returned to Ohio before it became Hollyweird.
They tell me the fault line runs right through here
So that may be, that may be,
What's gonna happen, gonna happen to me
That's the the way it appears
They tell me the fault line runs right through here
Atlantis will rise, Sunset Boulevard will fall
Where the beach use to be won't be nothin' at all
That's the way it appears
They tell me the fault line runs right through here
So that may be, that may be,
What's gonna happen gonna happen to me
That's the way it appears
They tell me the fault line runs right through here
They tell me the fault line runs right through here
Mamas and Papas
California Earthquake
Cables are generally buried. So if this is true the cables would be underneath the new sea floor and not in immediate danger.
Cables in urban areas are typically in conduits under the street. If the streets are flooded with sea water they will have worse problems than deteriorating internet service. Parts of the cities would have to be vacated or relocated.
All of this would likely take place over centuries with plenty of time for normal technology changes to occur.
i had no idea ocean rising was so selective, picking out only internet cables to flood, while leaving underground power cables, telephone cables, subways and auto tunnels high and dry ...
