Global warming could have saved the Titanic. So says no less an authority on climatological and maritime disasters than Jose Canseco, erstwhile baseball slugger, steroid whistle blower and latter-day Twitter savant.
Canseco espoused his theory in a sea of stream-of-consciousness tweets over the weekend. Sunday marked the 100th anniversary of the day the supposedly unsinkable ship sank in the frigid Atlantic, claiming more than 1,500 lives after it struck an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland.
"Titanic 100 years wOw. Global warming couldve saved titanic. Sad to say," came Canseco's first message on the topic, before he elaborated via the @JoseCanseco account.
"Because we don't recycle and consume like crazy icicles are non existent. Titanic wouldve still existed today." .............(more)
