Lol!
hey there,
sorry to burst your bubble but all the IT jobs are gonna stay with Bangalore even with global warming at its worst! This is because the average elevation in b'lore is 920 m (3,018 ft) and the maximum projected sea water level rise is 2m!! Au contraire london and most of the british isles along with coastal america would sink...and where would those jobs go?? To bangalore and chennai [elevation:6.7 metres (22 ft)] ofcourse

'king 'ell. Another thread falls through threaded's time portal. He should get that thing fixed before some get hurt.
Anyway, the plan to get Pakistan and India to go into an all out nuclear war is coming along nicely. That'll bring the jobs back home. No company will ever consider overseas outsourcing after that happens.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Sea level won't rise provided we prevent any ice currently on land from entering the sea. We should just get loads of bulldozers to the Antarctic to pile all the snow up in the cold bit in the middle and build a huge snowman.bloggoth

It matters not whether Bangalore is submerged.
Within a couple of years the Indian sub-continent work will have all been outsourced to places like Korea.
The Indian call centre owners have been complaining about this for some time now. They can see there business model collapsing within 2 or 3 years unless they also get onto the outsourcing bandwagon.
