I'm.sure they're trying to figure oir how to get extra crusies to go there so tourists can view it before it's gone /s
They predict 2 ft (0.6 m) and then another 10 ft (3 m) of sea level rise. I wonder how big a change in habitable surface will be, but there's a nice site to visualise changes in sea level , and also NASA tools, but those are more complex. There's also one about the US
Anyway, it's a lot, and I wonder if that might make some people want to reconsider how climate affects their lives
Phew, my office is the whole three blocks away from the local danger zone 😌
Wow. Virtually every highway in the country will be disrupted.
I get the feeling nobody will reconsider anything until they are personally effected.
