We don’t have to look 85 years into the future to see what a sinking world looks like: 'Rising Sea Levels Are Already Making Miami's Floods Worse' in Wired magazine.
'Based on what scientists can glean from sea level data from the past 20,000 years, [University of Miami's Department of Atmospheric Sciences researcher Brian] McNoldy estimates that the world could still have up to 100 feet of sea level rise to go. He believes even if humans were to slow down or stop the man-made factors contributing to climate change, "we're already pretty well committed to significant sea level rise. We would be more prudent to consider how to adapt to those conditions.'
