Do you live within 175 feet of sea level?

The time-frame is at least a couple of hundred years. I'll be well dead by then.

I'm at 1520 feet. Then again, if everything up to 175 feet is flooded, I will only be able to travel by helicopter. Time to check Craig's list for use helos, I guess.

Don't be so sure.

On either point

I live in the great lakes region, but that doesn't count because they appear to be above sea level, yet decreasing in volume. I say 'appear' because I remember how high the surface water level to shoreline for Lake Ontario used to be as compared to today. It rises and falls with the seasons, but it has fallen more than risen over time since I have been alive.

It's amazing what can be done with photoshop and other assorted digital effects software.

Yeah pretty cool graphics. Glad you like!

The sad part is that the time will probably come when photoshop will not be required for those photos.

NASA says we've already passed the tipping point:

Here's the timeframe:

It is, again, important to emphasize that just because these glaciers may have passed the "point of no return" does not mean that dramatic sea level rise happens tomorrow. There is a limit to how fast glaciers and ice sheets can move, and the Science paper emphasizes that the entire process may take several hundred years and possibly as much as a millennium.

Here's a scary prediction:

In the grand scheme of things, though, the consequence would be a very different planet. And West Antarctica is just the beginning. According to glaciologist and Greenland expert Jason Box, when you compare where we are now to where atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and ocean levels stood in past warm periods of Earth's history, you can infer that human beings have already set in motion 69 feet of sea level rise.
