We call Acela “High speed rail.” Acela trains average speed is 65 mph. Chinese trains 200 mph. In several decades the U.S. could have high speed rail but many cities will be underwater

The U.S. packs you into unreliable dangerous aircraft for city to city travel. Or even more dangerous and unreliable automobile & buses on clogged roadways. 

We call Acela trains that average 65 mph “high speed.rail.” 

Chinese trains are 200 + mph. 

City to city high speed rail is required to compete internationally.

Many US cities will be underwater before high speed rail is ready.

“In Miami it regularly floods, when it’s not raining.”

"If the glacier were to collapse it would raise global sea level by two feet. It might be imminent."

What especially worries scientists is if the melting accelerates. If all the ice on Thwaites is lost, it would raise ocean levels an additional 2 feet, according to the NASA study. But the glacier also backstops neighboring glaciers. If those glaciers also melt, sea levels could rise an additional eight feet, researchers warn. 

One of Antarctica's biggest glaciers has a giant hole under it. What would happen if it collapsed?
