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.

In five thousand years, maybe...and as much from land subsidence as from sea level rise.
But the downside is that it will happen so slowly that it won't drown the undesirables living there, just move them into our areas.
We just had our coldest (or second coldest depending on which weatherperson you listen to) Halloween on record. This summer wasn’t nearly as hot as most.
Farmers around the nation were complaining about delaying planting crops due to wet and cooler temps last spring.
Yeah, there’s you’re globull warming.
No...it is the Port of New Orleans that is "that important", since the exports for probably half the United States (and especially agricultural products) passes through it. Cheaper to build taller levees than to replace the entire port infrastructure.
Intelligent? No. Educated beyond their intelligence, with false doctrines.
Well then, it’s a good thing the world will end in 11+ years; a lot of beach dwellers wont drown.
Why do these “scientists” even project the future beyond 11 years? Why dwell on a fantasy that wont ever happen based on their like-minded colleagues’ predictions? Looks like some disagreement within the ranks of the woke.
They say that like A) it’s true and B) if true, it would be a problem.

Old school/old news who is this regreta again? I regret Hanoi Jane and John.
Thanks. Nice to know. Some of my forefathers passed through there in the 1840’s headed for St Louis.
It is long passed time for anathema to bite the left where it hurts.
Not surprising. New Orleans was second only to New York as a port of debarkation for immigrants. As a result, it developed the same structure of ethnic neighborhoods as NYC. It is amazing how much the New Orleans "Ninth Ward accent" sounds like Brooklynese.
Many planets wish they had liquid surface water. Not fair.
