Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox for winning the World Series. Your park is dooooooooomed!
(Environmental News Service) Boston’s 101-year-old Fenway Park – where the World Series was won by the Boston Red Sox tonight for the first time since 1918 – is at increased risk of flooding due to climate change, warns the National Wildlife Federation.
Calling the baseball diamond “a diamond in the marsh,†the environmental group points out that low-lying Fenway Park took its name from The Fens, the saltwater marshland around the Muddy River on which it was built.
Parts of the neighborhood, like much of downtown Boston, were built on filled-in marshy areas, blogs the NWF’s Miles Grant. (snip)
The environmental group wants to remind Bostonians before the upcoming mayoral election on November 5, that climate change is making flooding more likely due to “heavier rainfalls and climate change-fueled sea level rise.â€
The fable includes this picture, done by the Environmental League Of Massachusetts
More unhinged and unscientific photos from the ELM are available here.
Fenway is 20 feet about sea level. The left field wall, The Green Monster, is 304-308 feet tall (depending on the measurement). That picture would seem to depict a sea rise of at least 170 feet. In reality
So, it would take over 17,000 years to see up to half of the Green Monster covered by rising seas. And Warmists call this “science”.
sheesh.
So, they are warning people who built their lands on top of swampy\marshy lands that their lands could become flooded??????
unfortunately too many people buy this
GB….
There is hope.
The District of Columbia was built on a swamp
There is no hope.. it still is a swamp. But, I agree, there is “hope” that it will be flooded for a “change”.
IF there’s one place that needs to be flooded, that’s D.C.
Flooding Fenway works for me… I’m from St. Louis.
