I found this neat website.

It's a Google Earth Application. You can set how much the sea level will rise, and then you can look who'll get wet feet.

Will you stay dry?

My former home in Germany will become waterfront property, but my place here is safe, though the river will rise quite a bit and swallow the place I work at.

So no more work and a place at the water?

Sounds pretty good to me :p

Lazy bastards didn't bother to do the calculations for RI.

w00t. My dorm is JUST safe. :D

Ha, I survive a 14m sea level rise and land values will go up since we'll have lakeside views. Global warming is all good!

That application is a bit dodgy, because unless I'm mistaken, it goes by elevation, so the rise in sea levels magically transports water inland to create small ponds everywhere.

That's cool. At 14m (46ft in real measure), both middlesborough and london flood. My house will remain bone dry however. (Though I will get an interesting lake down the street).

Therefore I vote for 14m. (46 feet).

Yeah, it's hardly scientific. Though it worries me a bit to look at the Netherlands, Bangladesh and the Chinese East Coast.

i think his elevation data is dodgy too cuz it shows jersey to have greater elevation in the south than it does in the north, when in fact the opposite is true by some 300ft. it also shows some areas of sea to be above sea level.

The water didn't even come remotely close to where I live, and I'm on a damn island.

To be fair a lot of the netherlands is already below sea level. I imagine they would just build higher walls.

I guess so, it looks like only parts of Europe will be effected so we here in the US will be safe. :p

In Oklahoma anyway. Maybe not so much in Southern Florida and Louisiana.

I'll be fine, but most of Melbourne city centre will be in the drink. :(

And that's different from every other saturday how?

Yay I'm unaffected where I live.

Bugger. At 14m, my house is the only house on the street to be flooded.

let's just say we're not gonna be complaining about the big dig no more.

big dig?

Yay I'm unaffected where I live.

by the flooding at least. by the millions and millions of displaced refugees, maybe not.

The Big Dig becomes the Big Sewer? :D

My house won't even notice. It'll dunk New Orleans, and the coast's rebuilding will end up in the drink, but...

by the flooding at least. by the millions and millions of displaced refugees, maybe not.

the world's not full, and we have all the guns.

Eh they'll move to Charlotte, we may get a few in Concord but eh.

i live at 4500 ft above sea level. im not too worried about it for myself.

Looks like I'll be high and dry.

Given that I live at well over 8000 ft. up here in Colorado...I'll just be laughing. :D

Until it becomes so dry that more wildfires spread around the forests I currently cherish and I buuurn. :(

It seems the Great Lakes won't rise, so I'll be ok.

It seems the Great Lakes won't rise

unless somebody dams up niagra falls or something

really drunk. Ooops!:eek:

I'll check in tommorrow/ Good issue. Good debate. See u!:D

At 14 meters, I'll be able to troll for salmon from my balcony! :D My feet will stay dry though and my office(where I'm at right now) will be flooded by 6 meters... happy days, let's remove those exhaust pipes and start burning coal!
