100 years from now - The effects of rising seas

Scary outlook and this is a "best" case scenario.

Half of florida is under water
Louisiana is swamped
London is, from what I can tell, under water to.

The "white stuff" is actually population density.

Re: 100 years from now - The effects of rising seas

eak my home! *pouts* both of them :< (london and southampton) they could be flooded.. i wonder what they took into account when they made that modle though. hmm they say antar5ctic.. isnt that just a huge ice-berg? if it is so and not on any landmas then it wouldnt bee that terrible when it melts because of the displacement of water, greenland will make a big impact on the worlds oceans though..
