Global Warming

Ron,
I agree. This is all just a lot of speculation. And while there might be caves, eruptions, and so on, I don't think it would change the total level of water by enough to make any kind of real difference.

And really - if it is 200 feet, or even 180 - it is a LOT of change that will not happen any time soon, and might never happen at all.

That map looks like an awsome solution to the "blue state" problem.

Seriously, lets bound the problem at first. Assume all land is at "sea level. Any rise in sea level would imediately flood all land. What would the total rise be if the Antartic melted?

Mike,
According to my numbers and those I have read:

290 feet of total rise only on existing surface area of the water.

200 feet when the flooding of low lying land is considered.


BTW, you might be able to make a nice living preaching to all the folks that Jesusland will be saved from the floods...
