Venice Italy is slipping into the sea at an alarming rate. Venice is settled on the Adriatic sea, but as the water level drops every year so does the city. it sinks about 1 millimeter a year, which is a lot considering its been happening sense the city was built. but there has also been a rise in water, because some ice caps have been melting. this mean that the city is basically sunk. when the city sinks down a bit, it doesn't always rise back up. now Venice is exposed to flooding.
i think this article is sad because I've always wanted to visit there, so it stinks thinking that it might be gone in a few years!
hopefully this will open the worlds eyes to see that things aren't perfect. this will definitely affect the world if ones of its most beautiful cities fulls into the sea.
