In 70 years, San Francisco as we know it could look drastically different. Gentrification, development and the other forces of urban change we fret about may be mere trifles compared to the drastic effects of climate change, including the rise of sea levels and erosion, scientists say.
By 2100, rising sea levels could displace more than 480,000 people along the California coast and result in property losses upwards of $100 billion if no preventative measures are taken, according to a 2009 study by the California Climate Change Center.
The study found populations in the San Francisco Bay Area are especially vulnerable, as are people of color and low-income communities.
The projections represent a worst-case scenario for the city and represent how the landscape would look if there were no efforts to stave off the rising sea or to stem erosion. Nonetheless, as climate change accelerates, the NOAA models could prove true. Some models estimate the sea will rise by 4.60 feet in the next 100 years - nearly seven times the rate of the 20th century.
In San Francisco, tourist attractions like Fisherman's Wharf, Crissy Field and the Palace of Fine Arts will be lost to the sea, as will the Salesforce Tower, the Google offices, the San Francisco and Oakland Airports and the Ferry Building, according to the Climate Central models.

blacks and indigents to be hardest hit, Nothinh new here.
PS
“as are people of color and low-income communities”
This is exceptionally hilarious. There are NO “low income” communities any where near the waterfront or beach in San Francisco. The prices go up exponentially the closer you get to blue water.
Studies show that in 70 years the world will be nuclear wasteland.
“What do we want?”....”Global warming!”....”When do we want it?”....”NOW!”
No such luck.

Please point out the downside, here...
It’ll finally get the poop off the streets?
These models.
500,000 people will need new properties?
Sounds like a building boom to me!
Great comment!
Maybe my ocean front property in Arizona will finally be worth something.
These swaths of San Francisco will be underwater in just 70 years>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
An act of God?
I guess Dem creators of the San Francisco cess pit are going to have to hire some “dyke” builders from the Netherlands. Now that’s INFRASTRUCTURE! The Great Saul Alinsky Dyke!

The Big One Earth Quake will likely wipe it off the face of the Earth before then.
San Francesspool will be underwater?
I would have more preferred it to be destroyed by fire and brimstone but if flooding will do the job then I guess we’ll just have to compromise.
the sooner the better!
send the filth into the ocean
Models are not science - they are guesses with computers.
Way past ‘sandy’s’ deadline for fixing the erf.
P.S. Anyone else doubt she wrote the ‘new green deal’?
Yeah, most of us won’t be here in seventy years, and those that are should be grateful that sewer was cleaned up.
According to the leftist doomsday clock, we’ve all been dead for at least 20 years.
