A sea-level rise of just a few inches will bring flooding to South Florida cities, contaminate sources of drinking water and lead to sharp increases in utility bills over the next 20 or 30 years, according a study released Wednesday by Florida Atlantic University.
The study found that projected sea level increases of 3 to 6 inches by 2030, due to global warming, could overwhelm flood-control systems that in many areas are more than 50 years old. The authors provided a list of steps to be taken in the coming decades, from moving drinking-water wells inland to installing more pump stations, that could help the region cope with the higher water.
"Unprecedented sea level rise and other climate change impacts are likely to result in serious threats to the water supply, increased risks of flooding, hurricane damage, huge infrastructure investments and other consequences both known and unknown at this time," states the study, conducted by researchers at the university's Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and College of Engineering and Computer Science.

Oh, stop it.
“…3 to 6 inches by 2030, due to global warming,…”
I guess they haven’t gotten the memo. There is no man-caused global warming. There is no global warming period. Why are people still publishing these articles?
I am sure all the Libs that own property there will NOT sell it and buy mountain side property.
Just like their mentor Al Gore.
If it would rise 17 feet I would have beach front property

More AGW hysteria...
Hoo boy. I had to check and see if this article was dated 2011 or 2001.
Didn’t they get the memo? Global Warming has been debunked for years now.
Now the algore weenies are into “Climate Change”.
Go to the Florida Keys for good beachfront property ...
whatta world when the doofus’ run the media.
The good news is at least the Miami Dolphins won’t have to lose any more home games.
From the same source as “Himalaya glaciers to disappear by 2010” no doubt.

As a lifetime Florida resident it is an always been the erosion of the beach from storms from waves washing out the sand.
Didn’t I just see a news story that the sea levels have been lowering over the past 20 years?
New news story: If an astroid the size of Mt. Everest hit the ocean just off of Florida, a Tsunami would sweep all life off of the Peninsula! Minorities and women will be hit hardest. This “Could” happen, so we need a project to build orbiting telescopes and missiles to deal with the situation; this will necessitate doubling NASA’s budget.
New News story: If an astroid the size of Mt. Everest hit the Atlantic ocean just off the coast of Virginia, a tsunami would erase Washington D.C. from the map. So we need a project to build orbiting telescopes and missiles ... Wait a minute ... let’s think about this a little bit more ...
Has anybody told this numbnutz that Global Sea Levels have FALLEN for the past two years “Unexpectedly”??
FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!!
Only by accepting DEMOCRAT SOCIALISM as your Lord and Savior, can ye be saved!
I was amazed to see how few beaches there are in the Keys.
The Bearing Straight once had a land bridge. That got flooded when the earth warmed and the ice melted. Since our planet is always warming and cooling, would they rather sea levels went down 3 to 6 inches? Hmmm?
So they would rather see another ice age. I hear when most of North America becomes permafrost, corn and beans grow better and we don’t have to spend as much on heating.
When will the BS stop. Eventually Florida and New Orleans and New York will all be below sea level. They could lower sea level a bit by flooding Death Valley. Just dig a little rocky canal out to the coast. Think of all the lush farmland and life that it would create not to mention additional beach front property and another port.
Waterworld! Fish and Kevin Costner living together! Mass hysteria!
...in related science, melting icecubes will cause a glass of water to overflow.
this is from a left wing, pro-homo, pro-racist obama, liberal, left wing rag, which is probably on life support.
LOL - That is a positive!
If it would rise 2565 feet I would have beach front property here in Az. Another educated misfit looking for 15 minutes of fame or a Federal Grant to continue doing nothing productive for a few more years.
Do wrinkles float?
****erosion of the beach from storms from waves washing out the san*****
Precisely. All along the East Coast - municipalities dredge the shoreline and pile the sand back to the board walks or property lines. If they didn’t use heavy equipment - that could result in ‘shovel ready’ jobs.
Compare 19th century maps to today - and there is no loss of land mass to the oceans.
To arrive at this conclusion it took a team of researchers from Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and College of Engineering and Computer Science.
Where do I apply to study global warming?
LOL!
The rising sea levels will cause the unicorns to migrate north, causing possible problems for farmers in Georgia who are raising Mouse-Deer.
I guess it is a good thing that the sea levels are falling. http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2010/10/01/sea-level-falling-in-2010/
Interesting variation on Chicken Little's "The Sky is Falling!" crisis. Only this one is "The Sea is Rising!"
The Sun-Sentinel is to the left of Obama for those who may not be familiar with this paper.
It would be fun to have beachfront property here, but the water would have to rise 5230 feet. How long will it take at today’s rate of rise?
Sorry, but if you can't spell "Bering Strait", do you expect me to take anything else seriously?
YES! I. CALL. FOR. THE. FLOODING. OF. DEATH. VALLEY. TO. SAVE. THE. PLANET!
What about the Great Salt Lake and the Dead Sea? Those are below seal level aren't they?
At the end of my backyard is saltwater. The water's at the same level it's been at for over 20 years... considering high and low tides. If it changes I'll let everyone know...
The rising BS levels will hit the economy hardest.
I wonder how many of our tax dollars funded this research project.
Dear Lord these people are stupid.
I have a friend whose daughter was a contemporary of mine when they were in school. He and his wife have spent a fortune on schools and financial support since she graduated from HS in 2000. Now finally in the last year she has become economically self sufficient. They are so proud of her.
What does she do? She works for a foundation funded almost entirely by one person (IOW it would fail if it needed to make a profit). Her job? She goes to private sector companies and “teaches them how to shrink their carbon footprint”. In her parent’s minds she is now a truly productive member of society.
Should be able to get some good deals on beachfront property.I'm a Florida homeowner, and let me assure you: you don't need Global Warming to get really good deals on beachfront property.
Wrinkle necked trout float.
Psst, leave them in their stupor (and they don’t like facts anyway), but, if there were global warming (manmade or otherwise), it would result in more evaporation, which would both have a cooling effect and at least partially counteract any sea level rise; just the opposite would occur if there were global cooling.
Apparently the Creator knew what He was doing by making 75% of the earth’s surface water to offset global temperature changes that are caused by sunspots, volcanoes, and other natural phenomena that actually do result in temperature changes.
And, I for one, am thankful for global warming - I can’t imagine living in an ice age.

Oh my Gorp! The world is about to end!
But wait...wait...the Dutch have worked with this for hundreds of years.....( oh never mind.)
Melting floating ice has no effect on sea levels.
The world’s only mass of ice on land, Antarctica, is increasing, not decreasing. Sea levels should be retreating.
South Florida disappeared under 100 feet of water back in 1980.
It’s gone.
Could we arrange to have Congress in a joint session with Barky addressing them when it hits?
Pretty please??

Guess I’ll have to file an insurance claim and move to my house in TENN !
"The vast majority of climate scientists agree that the release of greenhouse gases by human civilization is driving global temperatures higher, with projections of sea-level rise ranging from one to six feet over the next century."
has little merit in my eyes. As far as I am concerned, the ice melt runoff caused by the sun-induced global temperature increase adds to the sea volume and raises its level in relation to the land, but the reduced burden of the ice allows the land mass to rise in relation to the sea in places where ice was/is an issue (probably not Florida). Taking my cue from the article, won't the temperature increase cause evaporaation of the sea, thus reducing its level? Also, I am willing to bet Obozo's total wealth that the 6 feet rise is a TOTALLY discredited figure - just like AGW itself.
I had no idea Florida was only a couple of inches above sea level.
