Check out the pictures. Weird. Third year in a row they've had less water.

Weird considering Venice is actual in the Adriatic.

I though the oceans were rising?  An article in Newsweek actually claimed that the oceans did rise but the ocean floor sunk.

Gosh, that's concerning. I think when it comes to environmental change, one must look at the big picture. Parts of the world are drying up, Cape Town is about to shut off water to citizens, you have Venice, storms are more violent, CA has been under drought conditions for years, parts of FL may go underwater,melting glaciers -- seems as if varying consequences result from what we label as climate change.

I think it's all BS. Sea levels are rising or they aren't! How are you going to try to tell me that they are rising over here but falling over there! Admittedly "sea level" can be a complicated business, but this smacks of over complication meant to feed an agenda!

There’s more to it than that.

What agenda? Venice is “dry” right now. That’s just a fact.

Plate tectonics. The Med has a lot of moving parts at the bottom.
