We Ain't Sinking in Beantown, the Water Line Be Movin On Up

Observe the difference in these two images of Boston Harbor and the Charle River area. Yoy might think that the one on the left is a current image, and the one on the right is Boston before we the "Back Bay" was drained and filled in. But you would be wrong!

Why? Mostly because the right hand image is a forecast of the Boston area about 50 years from now, after Global Warming has melted most of the ice caps. It is oddly similar to the original Boston landscape. Ironic, ain't it? Here 's some of the science chatter locally via the Bahston Globule.

The above graphic comes from THIS SEQUENCE (check it out!)

Oh, and that does mean that my office would be under about .... uh. lemmee see ... 25 feet of water! Cool! I could come to work in an aqualung!
