Seeing is believing
By now, everyone knows: the climate is changing, sea levels are rising, and the crises are likely to happen sooner than expected. Still, it’s one thing to know, and another thing to really see these potential disasters. Luckily (or unluckily), there’s no lack of tools to help the apathetic develop a visceral sense of what could be at stake.
First, Information Is Beautiful has used data from NASA, Sea Level Explorer, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to create the aptly named “When Sea Levels Attack,” which shows how many years are left until major cities are underwater.

Saw this earlier as one of those ALWAYS-liberal stories that pops up for you when you open Firefox. I was happy to see quite a few comments dissing this hysterical piece.
One completely dense guy commented that it’s “big money” people trying to hide the “truth” of “global warming.”
Dude: It’s “big money” people who invested in this scam in the first place to create a “global warming” industry, and they’re getting more and more edgy the more people catch on to the scam.
I want a post showing what the world will look like if unicorns sh*t a ton of poop each - every month.
Does it show Al Gore’s California beech house that he bought right after Tipper wised up a divorced him?
Does he still dress up like a poodle?
I remember when the Professor thought the island was sinking.
It turned out that Gilligan kept moving his measuring stick. Probably something like that is happening now.
The next 100 years will be much colder than the last 100 due to the solar minimum. The next ten years will be catastrophic for crop losses. See Solar Cycle 24. Repeat only worse than the Mounder Minimum.
I'm pretty sure they were expected 10 years ago... and never came to pass.
I predict in 1,000 years, none of us will be here....
I will be dead before any of these are under water.
Someday thousands of years from now San Jose will be close to L.A., but that will be due to the shifting of the San Andreas earthquake fault - many thousands of years in the future.
If anything happens in mankind's future, it will be global cooling with ice sheets growing. Or an asteroid strike displacing water. Rising sea levels? Not anytime soon.
Too bad these clowns have not seen the chart showing sea level rises for the past hundred years. Roughly 4 mm/year with NO change in the slope. (To be a bit more precise, the charts have data points which scatter, and are shown with a ‘best fit’ line) But, given that you typical journalist/educator/politician has the intellect of a cruciferous vegetable, and given that climate “researchers” are all funded by a gubmit whose motto is “the worst and the dumbest”, we shouldn’t expect anyone to study actual data instead of Dokbama level pretend science.
Oh, that increase in sea levels has been going on since - yup, you guessed it - the end of the last ice age, during which the average temp has - yup, you guessed it again - has been rising.
No, no, no, it’s all wrong, the oceans aren’t raising, the land masses are sinking! Sheesh!
You doom and gloom folks. LOL!
Use these same tools to help visualize communist being hung from lamp posts for destroying the economy.
It’s funny how they claim the seas will rise at a snails pace and then BAM 6 feet overnight in 30 years and everyone dies.
It’s all about control.
If you look at their scary charts at the link, they have San Francisco underwater in 200 years after a 3 meter rise in sea water. Idiots. SF is a hilly city. Even with a 3 meter rise, most of the city is not impacted; just some beaches. It is all scare tactics, and false estimates.
Goody goody. New York, Washington, Oregon and California are history.
LOL. Just rent Waterworld. You’ll be horrified, but moreso by the acting and storyline than the rising sea level.
