("most of the Florida peninsula will be under water in 50-100 years" is certainly not true, however, Miami would be in a very difficult spot at 2m SLR)
- RC_ITR 24d agoYour link implies less than 2m, strengthening my point? I said 'even in the most cataclysmic scenarios'
- waterthrowaway 24d agoYes, I was agreeing with you. I apologize for being unclear.
