The real problem is the city people will want to move elsewhere.

Personally I suggest they should go full waterworld and live like aqua mad max.

I see what you did there.

It’s true that there is enough ice above ground (and sea level) that, if it all melted, would raise ocean levels 200 feet. I’ve done the math because I was skeptical too.

The BS part is, could it all melt? No, not even remotely likely.

The video lost me when the announcer confidently said that it was indisputable that Global warming and the melting of the antarctic was now unstoppable.

central California was already flooded... for 6 million years. Either it all evaporated or it froze...

I used to fine fossilized shellfish all the way up the local mountains, up to 2,500 feet

Did they get Algore to narrate that video? Sounds just like him.
