The map, which demonstrates the devastating effects of global warming in just a century, shows how San Francisco Airport would be completely underwater if sea levels were to rise by ...60in.
The coastline on the map was also coloured, highlighting how nearly half a million Californians are at risk from rising sea levels.
The map, named CalAdapt, which was revealed at a press conference on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay by Mr Schwarzenegger and Google CEO Eric Schmidt, was created as part of a plan for the state to adapt to global warming.
'Within a century, Treasure Island, this place where we are right now, could be totally under water,'

The elevation of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) in the Netherlands is -11 feet (-3.4 meters) – the airport is officially below sea level. So what IS his point? The Dutch certainly know how to handle something like rising sea levels.
He wants to tax you through your energy purchases in order to please his backers.
Still at it, even after the revelation that the data may have been fudged Arnold? Not to mention that it all happens in 100 years while they can’t even predict tomorrows weather with any accuracy.
After 40 years in Southern California resisting idiots like Arnold, Boxer and Feinstein, we left, like so many others. The only glimmer of hope for California that I can see from here is that it is not too likely that Arnold will be reelected. Hope the next one is more sensible.
By the way, ever notice that all these guys are very rich and have very lavish retirement packages?
Ever notice that every Liberal agenda item is preceded by a panic crisis? It’s been that way since the end of WWII (can’t say about pre-WWII)
I submitted a post to them, saying Schwarzenegger doesn't know SF history. Treasure Island and much of SFIA is man-made from bay-fill. Perfectly flat a few feet above the water. If the waters rise, simply add more dredged material and raise the land level. The bay is continually dredged to keep the sea lanes open, so there is an abundance of fill material. I jog and walk at the bay's edge near SFIA. Environmentalists are spending millions on restoring some wetlands there. Should just let nature take care of reclaiming what was hers.
Reagan was also an actor.
Yet, they can’t tell me if it will rain next Saturday.
Thanks Arnold, you ignorant traitor!!
“’Within a century, Treasure Island, this place where we are right now, could be totally under water”
Well at least you won’t be governor, you insipid POS!
“My reputat’n is sunk on the bodom rite der in de bay of San Francisyco, Kaliphonia.”
Yes governor, you’re so right, under about ten feet of mud.
Reagan WAS an actor. He wasn’t “acting” a part to win office, and he had the Conservative credentials before he won the Governorship. Ah-nold IS an actor, play-acting a part for which he had no credentials or credibility. That’s the difference.
Agreed.
How much money and freedoms will it cost to avoid this catastrophe?
Seriously though, they’ve gotten to the point that i’m sure the average person yawns every time a new news story comes out about ‘global warming’ and how we’re all going to die.
If all the ice at both poles melted, the seas would rise 30-36 inches. Where’s the five feer of water coming from, Arnold?
Ahnold - Don’t be a climatic girlie man!!
So tell the bad news?
I find nothing wrong with this. Just save the 49ers and Michael Savage.
Excellent news. Flood the cesspool, that will help.
