The oceans will rise ~30 ft, actually a bit more depending on just 
how much warming there actually is.   If it's only the glaciers, it's 
not gonna be much more than a few feet.  If the polar caps melt (as 
they certainly eventually will) it could be 40-50 feet, bringing the 
coastline inland as much as a hundred miles or so, depending, mostly 
on the Piedmont areas of the eastern seaboard.

I absolutely do.  I also know EXACTLY where the "new" beaches will 
be.  Again.    It's the same place they were for millions on years 
before, until all that water got tied up in the polar ice caps.

Most of it anyway...


>as will New Orleans,


N.O. is already "owned" by the Mississippi River.   It won't take a 
warming trend to see it submerge.   Much of it is already below river 
level already.

Yes they will.    And forget about ranting about it, nobody can stop 
it.   Just the way nobody could stop the ice age, nobody's gonna stop 
the warming trend and the ice melting again.    Nor will anyone stop 
the next ice age that's gonna follow this one after it ends.

Inland.

This is true.  None of us are gonna see it.



It's gonna take thousands of years, folks...  ;)    Everyone has 
plenty of time to move out and go somewhere else.
