The most recent IPPC report[1] has lowered the sea level rise forecast somewhat. Depending on the atmosphereic CO2 scenario[2] the 5-95% range of sea level rise will be from 0.26-0.54 meters (RCP2.6) to 0.45-0.82 meters (RCP8.5). It is very unlikely that sea level rise will be much more than a meter, say over 1.3 meters. It is now generally thought it will take several hundred years or longer to get rises over a few meters. It is important to give accurate information on the impact of global warming as we already have a huge problem of the public misunderstanding the issue. Your map seems very well done but a default rise of 7 meters, while it shows off the technology, may just add to the confusion.
