Also, I strongly suspect that once she completes an undergrad course that a Masters and Phd would be within her reach purely if she used the subject of being an opinion former in the 21st century. I mean, that's just her own experience right there.

What was the higher lood in 1966 due to? Was that also climate change?
Tides in Venice are classified as “exceptional” when they exceed 140 cm (55.1"), which is enough to flood 59% of the city. According to City of Venice records, exceptional tides have occurred: • only once from 1872 to 1950; • about once every 5 to 10 years in the late 20th century; • and—ominously—10 times in just the last two decades, including this week’s event.

It's pure bollox, as long as she isn't chartering a private jet what is the issue with her taking occasional flights. Once on the continent she can use rail but having to bend over backwards to prove a point is stupid.
