The sea level wouldn't rise anywhere near that high. It wouldn't even hit 50 feet. Yes, many low-lying areas like Florida would be flooded pretty bad, but it would in way come close to Waterworld. :D You’ve been watching too many movies.

I'm not sure that there is much we can do at this point. Whenever a population becomes too dense, it becomes increasingly more difficult to maintain, by an order of magnitude.

Maybe you should look up analogy though, it doesn't seem like you know what you're talking about. Nobody claimed the earth is in danger, in this thread anyway. Nobody said it would flood the entire planet's land surface either, I don't know why you're trying to refute arguments that nobody made. Catherine Longfellow,

With the highest projections being a rise of 12m in sea level, I'm okay. It’s cool guy, I live on a hill, 100m above sea water.

Only the Rocky and Andes Mountain ranges would be above water in the Western Hemisphere. Over 5 billion would die, with no place to grow food, the survivors livin on fish and seaweed, with no weed or cigarettes or booze. Have fun if you live through it and make it on a boat.

We are adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and have caused an increase in temperature. We are pretty damn sure that it is human activity that is causing this, and we know that we can reduce our greenhouse gas production and become more efficient at the same time. How would that cause us to become extinct? Or is this just another lotus-logic trip? We will probably survive much of what the world can throw at us, but what kind of survival will it be? 1st world, 3rd world or just plain savage?

Is there enough glacial freshwater melting to actually, significantly change the amount of salt in seawater, which would mean the oceans (where they were affected) would freeze at a higher temp, among other effects?
