Interesting map showing world coastlines at various sea level increases (http://flood.firetree.net/)

Nice I will have beachfront property when sea level rises 20 meters! When will that be. 2015? 2017?

And it won't really be beachfront, but the Marina del Rey would be flooded to my doorstep by then. The actual ocean would still be just as far away.

At 20 meters I'll be living on a island. (Sorry Chris and Lisa. Better start building your ark!)

I'm thinking a move to Palm Springs might be nice as beach front on the new gulf of California. Looks like we'll need a new venue for Coachella though.

not really beachfront, but I will be a good ways down the baja peninsula at 60m.

At just 1 m the Salton Sea becomes huge!

Pish!

To hell with global warming! I'm turning on every wattage sucking appliance I have.

At 60m I'm still high and dry.

At Hornsby we're safe, no matter what.

At Green Point, though, we're on a lake-front property (thank goodness it's a steep block!!) We're good to 13 meters, but the 20 meter map shows we'd have a sunken living room. Literally.

I won't be alive in 100 years when my house becomes Atlantis, but it is too bad about my hardwood floors.

We get water at 40m rise. Starts coming into Camarillo at 9m rise.

Interesting! Thank you!

"Day after day, more people come to L.A.
Ssh! Don't you tell anybody the whole place is slipping away.
Where can we go when there's no San Francisco?
Ssh! Better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho."
