What will happen to the world if the sea level

rises two feet in the next 20 years?

It's a comfort to know someone else feels the same way I do about evolution.

:sarcasm:

not a good time to buy coastal property in Florida ...

Thank God for the Mexican corruption that kept us from building on it.

The various organisms crawling around on the surface may have to make some adjustments, though.

Can you swim? ;)

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

Showed it to my 13 year old before school so it'll be making the rounds today.

I fell like i'm reading slashdot.org sometimes on this site, you know that lobbyist infestied 'news for nerds, we're not really corporate weasels pretending to be your peers/friends' kind of sites. Not so much the propaganda posts, especially in this thread, but the dim programmed responses.

The ocean will not rise that much in 20 years. The major impact is not a change in shoreline though, but the extreme reaction in weather will effect ecosytems. Species will shift in population, will move and die out, humans will be effected by it, disease and disaster will do it's toll on all plants and animals. Essentially a lot of us will die, and the survivors will be the people lucky enough to be in sanctuary from militant humans, harshe climate, and disease. None of which is related to evolution.

It depends on whether some of the bigger ice shelves let go, like the Ross did a couple years ago. That one made the levels raise by a foot alone. And unfortunately, Greenland is beginning to look the same way as Ross did before it went, and that would raise ocean levels by 20 feet.

Colorado, not much.

Bangladesh, better get a boat.
