If you are afraid of water, thank God you were not born in Venice. St. Marks Square is now knee deep in sea water. See the coffee tables half submerged. It is predicted that Venice will be gone in a 100 years due to the rise of sea level... From what we see now, I think Venice will be gone in 50 years...!!
Ha...! And some people say, "What Global Warming / Climate Change...?!"
