I ran across this graphic and thought it was worth sharing. It does make sea level rise more real. I definitely can relate since I have lived in 3 of the 8 cities shown. Check out this site.
On April 6, the NYTimes published this article about melting icecaps, dealing with the topic of global warming..

A word of caution…The average global rate of sea level rise is 3.2+/- 0.4 mm/yr, equivalent to about about 13 inches per century. While it’s politically correct to get all “a-scared” about how climate change is impacting sea level rise, I personally can’t get too worked up about a foot a century.
Louisiana is a special case, driven by subsidence and not climate change. In other words, carbon has little to do with the relative sea level rise in Louisiana. We can do all of the screwing with our energy sources we want, and parts of New Orleans will continue to sink deeper and deeper below sea level. I have yet to hear a workable (actually, any kind of) solution for that problem.
Pix are fun, tho, even if misleading.
