By any chance, do you have a map of what the world would look like if the sea levels rose 3 feet?

This maybe be a hype story and in 10 years when we only have less than a foot, I can foresee a lot of the naysayers use stories like this as 'proof' man made climate change is bogus.

Probably more along the lines of preparation and prevention of a worst case scenario if possible.
I don't think it is avoidable, but maybe it can be slowed down from a runaway situation due to man's helping to speed up a natural process.

I'm from NJ originally, so depending on exactly where you are, I think you're good at a 400' elevation...
...but everywhere in NYC and the Newark Bay / Hudson River area would probably be flooded. Obviously areas like Cliffside Park, Edgewater, etc. would be OK given that they're up high, but large areas of Bayonne and Jersey City would be flooded too...but maybe more so at high tide.
As for the article, now that it is a done deal can we actually move on to something else?

My bad. The link said Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impact. I would have thought down neck was a lower elevation.
Is Jimmy Buff's still around? I know there was one up in East Hanover (I lived in Whippany for a few years), but loved the one in WO.

Trying to think what is more "worthy" than our home environment. Please give an example.
