What sea level rise will look like in cities that have hosted climate summits

As global leaders and delegates gather in Dubai for the annual UN climate summit, a new analysis shows how the host cities of previous summits could be inundated โ€” if not entirely submerged โ€” by rising ocean waters.

The relentless rise of planet-warming pollution has already resulted in severe droughts, deadly floods and rapid melting of glaciers and ice around the world. And scientists say the steady climb of global sea level will continue for many decades as temperatures crank higher.

The analysis from Climate Central, a nonprofit climate research group, illustrates the risk if countries fail to halt the planetโ€™s precipitous warming trend. A recent UN report showed the world is currently on track to warm up to 2.9 degrees.

Using peer-reviewed sea level rise projections and local elevation from Climate Centralโ€™s models, the findings show compelling visuals that paint a stark contrast between the world as we know it and our high-tide future, if the planet warms to 3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

Really? Same exact message as this article:

Entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels...

Difference? The article above was written nearly 35 years ago.

Might, Possibly, Could, May, etc

These are words of speculation or at best, hypothesis. They are not words of fact.

I’ve mentioned their owning ocean-front property to various people and hardly anyone knows about it. Or they don’t seem to comprehend the implications (i.e., that the elite aren’t the least bit worried about rising sea levels).

So, as a rule, I let everyone who is in the global warming/climate change cult know about this.

Sea level has risen more than 200 feet in the last 20,000 years. How much in the last 50 or 75 years? No one will say. It is either none or such a small amount they are embarrassed to tell the truth.
