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?
There is a BIG stopper protecting Lake Ontario and Toronto from global
warming, called Niagra Falls. Water won't run up the falls backwards. I
guess Toronto might be threatened if glacial melt and more rain caused by
global warming raise the lake level, but I have no idea if a significant
rise in Lake Ontario's level is possible from runoff.
