- lhopki01 9y ago6ft by the end of the century. 160ft in total.
- averagewall 9y agoBoth these figures are just sensationalism. 6 feet is the newly added "extreme" scenario. The low is still 1 foot by 2100. Just to repeat that - current science predicts that sea level might rise by 1 foot in 2100. 160 feet for the whole Antarctic ice sheet is not a problem at all because it will take 1000s or at least 100s of years. Most buildings don't last even 100 years. Neither do a lot of national borders. We'll have rebuilt all our cities by then so it's plenty of time to gradually move the rebuilding further and further inland as the sea encroaches. Even better, our predictions are only going to get more and more accurate so we can do more planning further in advance. Nobody's predicting any disaster due to the whole Antarctic ice sheet melting. High sea level - yes, problem for people - no.
