That reminds me of something I have wondered about.
I live in a town on the South shore of Lake Ontario.
If global warming results in a rise in sea-level, will
the raging waters travel down the St. Lawrence Seaway,
and raise the level of Lake Ontario and flood me out?
Or is there a stopper somewhere along the way?
How far above sea level are you?
The St. Lawrence will certainly rise -- much of it flows backwards part
of the time as it is -- but I don't think the rise is likely to pass
Montreal. I just pulled out my topo map of Laval and the lowest line I
see is the 30 meter line. I don't think anyone expects more than ~ 10
meters of rise in the North Atlantic in the foreseeable future, so most
likely even Montreal will remain above sea level.
And surely Lake Ontario is higher than that, so I would not expect its
level to rise at all.
