Random Picture Thread

Aside from that, my Firefox randomly puts up screen savers and my latest one is from Scheendijk, Netherlands. Very nice. If this was the face of rising sea levels, it might be tolerable.

 

Its been clearly shown that sea level has been raising for 10's of thousands of years.

Arcola, Texas in April of 2016. The Brazos River spilled out of its banks a bit during what became known as the "Tax Day Flood".

 

Here's some videos about it.

 

Thanks.

The Seawise Giant

• The Seawise Giant was so vast she couldn't navigate the English Channel and took five miles to slow to a halt
• Weighing more than 564,000 tonnes and measuring 1,500ft in length, she was the largest ship ever built.

She also carried the names: Mont, Knock Nevis, Jahre Viking and Happy Giant
