Scientists have dramatically underestimated the impact rising seas will have on cities around the world, according to research published in the journal Nature Communications.
One hundred and fifty million people are currently living in places that will be below the high-tide line in 30 years - three times as many people as the old projection methods estimated.
Previous estimates relied on satellite data to forecast sea-level rise, but satellites cant distinguish between ground level and taller elements integrated into the landscape, like trees and buildings. The paper, authored by Scott Kulp and Benjamin Strauss of the Princeton, used artificial intelligence to identify errors in the data and correct them.
Their model paints a grim picture: whole swaths of Vietnam, Thailand, coastal China, India, Egypt and Iraq swallowed by ocean.

Those same areas are some of the most expensive real estate in those countries. Prices there arent falling. The market dies not believe in rising sea levels.
Sky is falling and the water is rising. We are doomed!
And it will drown Obamas, Al Gores, and Mitt Romneys waterfront mansions.
I wonder why they dont act accordingly?
Is there something theyre not telling us?
If the sky falls at the same time globull warming melts all the ice, won’t those pieces of the sky fill in the low spots?
Rocky mountain high......Colorado
Spoiler: No, it won’t.
I learned about the theory of man made global warming in 1970. Since then the high tide mark at my Long Island beach has not moved a bit.
Thats all I know about it
One hundred and fifty million people are currently living in places that will be below the high-tide line in 30 years.
Uh huh. The sky is falling too.
....
Well then gives them plenty of time move then doesn’t it.
Theyre scaring us to death. Never mind the fact not a single one of their alarmist, doom-mongering prognostications has ever come true.
Then I guess Bangcock, Shanghai and Mumbai had better get ON it. Don’t expect US to bust OUR buns until we see THEM making some effort. And WHY DON’T we see THEM breaking a sweat over it? Because THEY KNOW THE WHOLE idea is a huge CROCK. Anyhow, as coastal land gets submerged, an equal area elsewhere will become unfrozen, fresh and pristine. So it’ll be a beautiful wash./Sarc.
Can you link to that, I would like to read it
Agreed on that. So I say to Trump “Please Daddy, buy us Greenland, please”.
I remember when (most) scientists believed in the scientific method as a means to finding absolute truth. Today, they reject both the concept that a hypothesis can be disproved and the existence of truth itself. Leftists disgust me.
Will it wash the poop off san Francisco sidewalks?
Were all gonna die! Who really cares if low lying coastland gets deluged?
If were not around to see it, it isnt a falsifiable test.
I guess Martha's Vineyard is immune.
And a recent photo:
Not much change if any over a 148 year period.
Since water seeks its own level, ya gotta throw in Florida too along with every other sandbar island out there........
Good.
Sure it will.
Alarmist: Global warming will wipe out the wild unicorn herds.
Sane person: There are no wild unicorns.
Alarmist: Oh my god! It’s too late!!!
