Go ahead, drown Manhattan, Boston, and Miami.
"A Climate Central analysis finds the odds of "century" or worse
floods occurring by 2030 are on track to double or more, over
widespread areas of the U.S. These increases threaten an enormous
amount of damage. Across the country, nearly 5 million people live in
2.6 million homes at less than 4 feet above high tide --- a level
lower than the century flood line for most locations analyzed. And
compounding this risk, scientists expect roughly 2 to 7 more feet of
sea level rise this century -- a lot depending upon how much more
heat-trapping pollution humanity puts into the sky."
