It's become an "Inconvenient Truth," all right.

dropping the pretense.

This opinion comes from Newsweek - a long time mouthpiece of the Left.

This data would not have been allowed to be disseminated by them in the past, but there is no more reason to pretend.

We were right.

Biosphere are nearing saturation, so the atmospheric concentrations will only accelerate…along with the harms to existing human habitation. Data from rising sea and atmospheric temperatures spell trouble for sea level rise…cue exodus from coastal cities all over the world from melting glaciers.

Nothing new.

...and the situation is only going to get Worse...every year...every day. You're entitled to your opinion...but not the raw data...and Physics.

,B.A sea-level rise of 3 feet is projected to force approximately 1 million Floridians to relocate by the year 2070.[1, 2],/B.

Florida is uniquely vulnerable to rising oceans due to its low elevation; roughly 10% of the state's population currently lives on land less than 3.3 feet above sea level.

Key Impacts of a 3-Foot Rise
• Population Displacement: Estimates from 1000 Friends of Florida indicate that 906,000 residents would be forced to relocate as their homes become permanently inundated or subject to chronic flooding.
• Land Inundation: A 3-foot rise would submerge roughly 1.7 million acres of land across the state.
• Infrastructure at Risk: According to Climate Central, a 3-foot threshold would put more than 2,500 miles of roads, 35 public schools, and nearly 1,000 hazardous waste or sewage sites at risk of flooding.
• Economic Exposure: In South Florida alone (Monroe, Palm Beach, and Broward counties), property values vulnerable to a 3-foot rise are estimated to exceed $31Billion.

Regional Vulnerability
Vulnerability is highest in South Florida, where many areas sit just 3 feet above current sea levels. [1, 2]
• Miami-Dade & Broward: These counties have more people living on land below 4 feet than any other state in the U.S. (except for Florida as a whole and Louisiana).
• St. Augustine: A 3-foot rise could inundate 42% of the city and affect over 900 historic structures.
• The Florida Keys: By the time seas rise significantly, an estimated 80% of the archipelago could be underwater. [, 3, 5]
For a detailed look at specific neighborhoods, you can use the Climate Central Risk Finder to see population and property impacts at various sea-level thresholds. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

...when the last ice age began to reverse itself, thereby making human civilization possible 13,000 years later.

(no message)

they are good for another 200 yrs...shouldn't affect the resale value anytime soon.

It's amazing how little shame you have...could care less exposing yourself as a willful fool.

Nonetheless, it's a duty to give this a try. For the 800,000 years prior to the Industrial Revolution,..through Milankovitch Cycle after Milankovitch Cycle when Atmospheric CO2 concentrations varied from 180 ppm (Ice Ages) to 300 ppm (Warm Periods). In just the last 100+ years that concentration has risen rapidly to 425 ppm, with no peaking in sight.

Also note that at current rates of sea level rise, in 80 years, seas would elevate by 3 feet...now ask yourself...how much time and expense would it take to find new places for the Billion+ people affected to be relocated, and new ports/infrastructures, etc.to be replaced.

Think we should have started earlier...or think there's nothing to be worried about? Before replaying take a peek at the future through this AI summary...

AI Overview

A 3-foot rise in sea levels would cause catastrophic harm to coastal cities globally, leading to permanent land inundation, systemic infrastructure failure, and economic devastation. Millions of residents would face chronic displacement, while vital utilities and ecosystems would collapse without massive, multi-billion-dollar defensive interventions.

The cascading effects of a 3-foot sea level rise present severe threats across several distinct areas:Permanent Inundation & Land Loss: Low-lying and flat coastal regions (like the U.S. Gulf and southern Atlantic coasts, as well as island nations) would experience permanent flooding and lose major chunks of land mass.

For every foot of rise, beaches can recede by 50 to 100 feet, risking the total elimination of many recreational shorelines.Exacerbated Storm Surges: A higher baseline water level means that even moderate storm surges and hurricanes would push much further inland. Events like Hurricane Katrina or Superstorm Sandy would have exponentially larger, deadlier, and more destructive footprints.Infrastructure Failure:

Critical infrastructure—including ports, airports, subways, power plants, and sewage treatment plants—would face persistent damage or total disablement. Nuisance (high-tide) flooding would become a daily, disruptive reality for roads and rail lines.

Water & Health Crises: As the ocean creeps into coastal aquifers, saltwater intrusion would contaminate local drinking water and agricultural irrigation sources. Additionally, the flooding of urban areas increases the risk of waterborne illnesses and the spread of contaminants from destroyed industrial/chemical sites.Economic Devastation:

The financial burden of replacing property and upgrading coastal defenses (such as building massive seawalls) would strain local and national economies. Industries reliant on coastal activities, including tourism, real estate, and shipping, would face devastating, multi-billion-dollar losses.
