    We will probably be underwater in 2030.

    I think that I should become a captain in a supertanker…

      Fortunately it will take more than 6 years for coastal cities to start flooding that much. By the end of the century it is forecasted to go up by less than 2 meter worst case. In 2000 years it could rise as much as 20 years if the temperatures rise 5°C.

      Additionally it is much easier to just move to higher ground.

        Yeah, because rebuilding most of the world’s major cities all at once is no big deal at all.

          Much smaller deal than staying and letting them flood.

            Much, much bigger deal than not letting the Earth warm enough to flood them in the first place.

      It’s not going to get that deep, or do so that fast.

      I am thinking about buying some beachfront property near the Fall Line for my descendants to inherit, though.
