The Mean Elevation of the state of Florida is 100 feet above sea level.

Worse than that: His paper (press release about his paper) on the Tufts web site claims to have +20 inches by 2050 and +45 inches by 2100 - and that little bit is in his worst case, if-nothing-is-done-case about GW.

So, will less than 2 feet “flood” anything at all?

Nonsense: The power plants (and prisons by the way) are well above +4 ft above sea level - even the road A1A on the beach islands, Atlantic side is HIGHER than +4 feet! (The nuclear plant is over +16 FEET - at its extreme low point in the parking lot, and flood barriers/wave barriers go higher than that up to the building.

Further, the “economist” is ignoring the +12% to +26% INCREASE in plant life and food/feed crops made possible by today’s increased CO2!

The enviro’s “bought & wrote” a totally bogus story - for hype.

Don't look now, but Fla is sinkin' fast. 2 ft in just a few hours.
