It seems a shocking dereliction that the Harvard Center for Climate and Security has yet to report on the impact of rising sea levels on the operational art in this critical future Theater of the War In
As Greenland goes, so goes sea level. Once salt water rises to the threshold of Meggido, the Med will swiftly run downhill into the Galilee. As surely as the Galillee's connected to the Dead Sea, should Mount Carmel shrug off talus in response to coastal erosion, the River Jordan could turn into a gully in the sea floor without a single nuclear weapon being fired on either side.
When the pillars of salt settle, the inundation of the Biblical river's West Bank will separate glum Israeli settlers from indignant Palestinian indigenes, and give the Lebanon room to buld more seaside condos along its watery southern buffer zone. It will also transform the regional balance of naval power.
What's not to like ? Israel gets a whole new East Coast, sea breezes cool off Syrian hotheads, Jordanian cuisine goes Mediterranean, and Gaza ceases to be an object of contention. Above all, Hollywood will prosper, for legions of writers will be needed to rescript TV's existing End Times genre to accomodate fleets of satanic submarines and an apocalptic battlefield full fathom five beneath the Med.
By the time it all gets to prime time, I somehow expect all the dolphins will be on God's side and that the cave of St. John of Patmos will remain high and dry.
