OK, genius.

The area where all the cropland is reported to have "subsided to under sea level" based on published photos is Minamisoma. All of the farmland there is over 15 feet elevation. Go to Google earth, if you need confirmation.

It was inundated by a large tsunami. The water will drain away. Slowly. It did not subside below sea level.

I am actually armed with knowledge and facts. You are armed only with ignorance and stupidity. Other than that, it seems like a fair fight.

On the entire NE coast of Japan, there is perhaps 500 acres of farmland below 5 foot elevation.

Finally, I'll try to explain a complex thought in simple terms even you may understand: vast areas of NW Europe's farmland are below sea level, but farmed with the aid of dikes, levees, and drainage equipment. Ever heard of the "low countries"?

Care to try again?
