Well, it couldn't happen in a better place.
Maybe my house wil be waterfront for my grand kids.
I'm 895 feet above MSL. I'm okay even if all the ice in the world melts. Bring it on.

Your property value will Skyrocket! I'd start taking a pick axe to the local dam.

The rescuers in the helicopters will be able to easily identify them by thier rainbow and lavender colored bandanas.
These articles are written for people who lack critical thinking skills and can't do simple research on the Internet. It wouldn't occur to the target audience to question the newspaper's assertions. ;)
Well, yes, wetlands would be flooded by any significant rise in sea level. Pretty simple concept, really -- they're "wetlands" (the politically correct word for "swamp") because they're wet. And they're wet because they're very close to current sea level. Ergo -- duh -- they would get inundated if sea level rises. And, guess what? Areas a couple of feet above current sea level would become, yep, wetlands.
The real question is why, if everyone is so sure that sea levels will rise, why the current wetlands were "restored at great public expense." Has this newspaper decried this tragic misuse of taxpayer money? Somehow, I doubt it.
So we will build on stilts. What the heck do they want? Our cars?
How can there be a century of data regarding water levels at the Golden Gate Bridge, when construction began in 1933?
If we survive 'tim morning...well, it's more than we can expect.
2 miles of ice on top of North America will fix this.
I'm loading up on ammunition now so I can fend off the drowning 'rats from the blue states as they head for higher ground in my red state!
My iced tea always overflows the glass when the ice melts, doesn't yours? LOL.
The public will swallow this Global Warming puke. Then, the call will sound for them to take their walk down the Santa Monica Pier. It is there they will load up in the Mother Ship of Communism where there will no longer be the right of the individual to private property. Mark my words.
Does this mean that California is going to be GONE SOON?????
Oh hold my heart still.....I couldn't get this lucky!!!!
You said -- "How can there be a century of data regarding water levels at the Golden Gate Bridge, when construction began in 1933?"
Well, Fort Point was there before it was ever U.S. Territory. That's probably the reason why. It's been a fort as far back as 1794

Ooh! I hate when I have to take the wrong side here, but the 13 feet is probably an average elevation. Portions of the airport could possibly be close to sea level. I Google Earthed the airport and it appears that this could be the case. I'm not sure how accurate the Google Earth database is for SFO. Are there any Freeper pilots out there who have used SFO?
Awesome :)
What the probability of a sea rise versus the probability of a magnitude 9 quake? Maybe the rising water will put out the fires.
Yes, but only if you are talking about ice floating in the water. Land locked ice would not apply.
