Satellite images show London is sinking

[QUOTEURL=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/latestnewsstory.cfm?storyID=1191241&thesection=news&thesubsection=world]LONDON - Satellite images show parts of central London are sinking by up to five millimetres a year, experts say. [/QUOTEURL]

I wonder if it continues for a few years what the effect it will have? Is it possible the island will eventally sink? I know 5 mm is not much, but what if millimeters turn into meters?

Hope that doesn't happen to Manhattan...

It probably won't happen for a very very long time, so long that most of us won't even be here to see it if it ever does happen. Actually by that time some genius might've come up with a solution anyway.

Yeah like getting everyone off the island.

 

[Q]

Florida's going in the drink too. But something tells me I'll have a shitload of karma by the time that happens.

 

[s4]

If ya got karma, what else do ya need?

 

[unclehobart]

half a meter per century... BFD. It might actually become an issue by the year 3500.

 

[Q]

Ok, so I'll be dead and have karma out the ying yang.

that's similar to the Cali situation. In about 50000 years, Los Angeles with be North of San Francisco

Hell ... my back yard is eroding 10 times faster than that.

When did London become an island?

I think London became an island in the mid 60s when the stuck up mod sect took over the west end.
