OMG! Lincoln, Nebraska is only 1200 feet above sea level. After this catastrophe it will only be 1199 feet above sea level. Oh the horror! I just can't imagine.
And poor Tallahassee will drop to 199 feet above sea level from its current lofty position of 200 feet above sea level. I sure hope Biden implements some emergency traumatic counseling centers to deal with all the distraught people.

My first thoughts, too.
People tend to forget about the SIZE and EXTENT of the oceans.
They are willfully ignorant.

I flew down the Beardmore Glacier once from the Pole to McMurdo. It is VAST in its size and extent.
...But NOTHING compared to the oceans.

Researchers expected to find some gaps between ice and bedrock at Thwaites’ bottom where ocean water could flow in and melt the glacier from below,” NASA said at the time. “The size and explosive growth rate of the newfound hole, however, surprised them.”
My understanding is that there has been an increase of volcanic activity in Antarctica. That is why these glaciers are melting from the bottom. Not caused by humans. Sea levels may indeed rise, but not much we can do about it. I think the best we can do is to prepare for it.

Yes. this could happen.
Then again, it could also not happen.
“News” stories with could, should. might, may, possibly, suggest, indicate, and so on in their titles are not actually news stories at all.

I just saw (by accident) an SNL Christmas “best of” show. One scene, from 20 years ago, was all about how global warming was going to kill us all.
They ran it with no sense of irony.

I am sure that will happen, before the sea level rises one inch. 😆😊
