Miami (AFP) - Sea levels are rising around the world, and the latest satellite data suggests that three feet (one meter) or more is unavoidable in the next 100-200 years, NASA scientists said Wednesday.
Ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are melting faster than ever, and oceans are warming and expanding much more rapidly than they have in years past.
Rising seas will have "profound impacts" around the world, said Michael Freilich, director of NASA's Earth Science Division.
"More than 150 million people, most of them in Asia, live within one meter of present sea level," he said.
Low-lying US states such as Florida are at risk of disappearing, as are some of the world's major cities such as Singapore and Tokyo.
"It may entirely eliminate some Pacific island nations," he said.

Busy metro places on the coast that are currently more than 2 meters below sea level:
New Orleans Elevation -6.5 to 20 ft
Schipol Airport (Amsterdam) -10 ft
I live at 4500 ft. That means my basement will flood in about 150,000 years. Should I buy flood insurance now, or can I wait til next year?
Good point. However, I thought 2015 was the year that the sea levels were to rise and flood every thing. That’s Algore said.
NASA, find a planet where liberals can go...and shut the F up about BS that shouldn’t be your area...NASA, you should do space!
When NASA starts relocating its Cape Canaveral facilities, I’ll start taking them seriously on this.

I see unicorns taking over our farms... send grant money.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
Since obama gutted the space program, clearly NASA doesn’t have nearly enough to do with its time (idle hands ... and all that “stuff”).
“in the next 100-200 years, NASA scientists said Wednesday.”
100% margin of error for a “suggested” happenstance.
This idiocy is now about 15 to 20 years old, all this was supposed to happen about 10 years ago.
SO WHY HASN’T IT HAPPENED?
Because NASA is currently staffed and run by IDIOTS.
That’s because all those ancient people in those ancient cities were driving cow fart propelled SUV’s.
So were safe, our cars are powered by government GAS.
Hey; it happens all the time in NYC, just ask the libs.
I wouldn’t worry about the basement, you can just put a pump in it.
But I would start to purchase my “PRIVATE BEACH’ signs now, you know , beat the rush.
