Terrell Miller;
New Orleans is screwed again, as is the Outer Banks, Charleston,
and the Everglades. Don't buy any vacation property in Naples.
At merely 10 meters you can probably kiss off most all of Louisiana,
Delaware and certainly the majority of Mississippi, then having to wear
hipboots and/or waders throughout much of New Jersey and throughout
most all of the likes of upper Florida because lower Florida is either
swamp or gone, with the likes of Rhode Island and even the island of
Manhattan you might as well say your goodbyes before it's too late.
However, our likely loss of the District of Columbia is actually a
win-win for humanity. The entire Gulf of Mexico will become the NE Sea
of whatever's left of Mexico and Texas will have lost usage to more
than 10% of it's dry land.
Solution; start buying up the highlands of Greenland and Antarctica
while the prices are good. Of course the water front properties
surrounding the likes of Death Valley at what used to be -282' that
may have to become another great lake that's 315' deep, as one of the
secondary artificial improvements from global warming.
Most all of inland Alaska that's not sufficiently mountainous, and much
of Northern Canada will become a seriously mucky swamp like
environment, as well as bug and mosketo heaven, thus do not go there
except in the dead of winter. By the way, a good many of those thawed
out nasty bugs and mosketo species haven't been out and about for
hundreds of thousands of years.
Dare we draw out those meter by meter or at least going by 10 meter
elevation contour lines, of helping to establish upon what's
geologically soon to become prime water front property?
How much of North America is 100+ meters above sealevel?
How much of Mexico is situated 100+ meters above sealevel?
How much of the entire world is 100+ meters above sealevel?
Isn't it odd that there's so little if any such Earth-science at our
finger tips to go by?
I'd also say that per each extra 10 meters we're looking at doubling
the existing tidal and storm surge terrain that's otherwise off-limits
because it's only dry a good part of the time, thus you certainly can't
live upon and/or reliably (aka affordably) develope safe infrastructute
in such easily damaged zones.
I mean to suggest; what else could possibly go wrong?
