This is pretty funny to me, born as an Oregonian... was just up visiting last year and made a trip to the beach... down toward Astoria, there had been a ton of new construction and it was in a flood plain of the lower Columnbia river that I have seen underwater sometime between 30 and 50 years ago. Fyi, the river is naturally about 4 miles wide at this point for the unfamiliar, this is the mouth and experiences tidal level changes very similar to the beach, even we did to a lesser extent 50 miles up the river.
All i can say is if you built anywhere in Oregon where an extra foot of water might cause a problem... there is NO hope for you.

What does Oregon have to do with this?

Or all these folks could just move back to California, lowering Portland's carbon footprint in the process. Then again, they could always put people into L.A. style tent cities for a low-carbon economy like Haiti or Venezuela.

Sorry about the misdirected global warming PING (above post). Hopefully, people on that list will forgive me. Now, to the right PING list:
These eviron-MENTAL folks could just move back to California, lowering Portland's carbon footprint in the process. Then again, they could always put people like themselves into L.A. style tent cities for a low-carbon economy like Haiti or Venezuela.

The Bern will keep his $400,000 lakeside house while the rest of the U.S. can freeze in the dark in L.A.-style tent cities.

We MUST NOT forget to get each of them a nice coloring book and cuddly teddy bear for their new safe place. What were you thinking?

Portland Me was a livable town thirty years ago.
It has turned into a cesspool quagmire, which unfortunately still looks better than the leftist shith*les that leftists are leaving when they move here.
Drunk brawls and fights, mentally ill and alcoholic homeless everywhere. All of Southern Maine is a horrorshow.

You nailed it. The alarm is based “on current trends” for the next 80 years. Problem is, the “current trends” are likely to reverse well before then, if the trend is even real, which remains it be seen.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone produces gigandous earthquakes Richter ~9, every 200 to 500 years.
By 2100, it will have been 400 years since its last major earthquake.
When that occurs, it will raise the water level at Portland’s waterfront by about 50’.
What are these wizards going to do about that?
