'Venice Is On Its Knees': Mayor Blames Worst Flood Tide In 50 Years On Climate Change www.npr.org/2019/11/13/778812333/venice-is-on-its-knees-mayor-blames-worst-tides-in-50-years-on-climate-changeWe can all depend on government to solve our problems. "Built centuries ago on tiny islands, the city has always been subject to flooding," NPR's Sylvia Poggioli reports from Rome. "An ambitious project of movable undersea barriers called MOSE is yet unfinished due to cost overruns and corruption scandals. Experts say once completed, it will be insufficient to deal with rising sea levels."

Did I hear that Jakarta is being referred to as The Venice of the East?

Tracked vehicles are really what is needed.
