No, its not sinking.
According to this article, Venice is flooded due to storms, rising silt lifting the seabed floor, and - of course - "global warming" (the last despite the IPCC admitting that temperatures have not risen since 2001).
While my heart goes out to Venice and the Venetians, this wet stormy weather is afflicting all of Italy.
Venice was built in the 5th century. Hasn't technology improved enough that we can't raise Venice to a safer, above-the-waterline height. And whatever happened to those plans for huge floodgates. Did those ever get built?
