Global warming is not just going to occur overnight. Planning departments must start refusing planning on areas that will become a flood risk in 5-10 years, this will have the effect of causing a housing shortage encouraging people to move to areas that will not be prone to flood. According to the maps I have looked at Florida is not going to disappear but a large chunk of it will become uninhabitable and could effect a million plus people that will need re-locating. Allowing a population to grow in an area that will cease to be habitable is foolhardy
The article has got me thinking about my area I am safe , but the coast 50 miles away from me will disappear leaving by todays figures at least 804,950 homeless. I shall be asking local councils what their plans are, time to open the conversation
I just looked at the IPCC estimates for sea level rise over the next century, and even the highest estimate in the worst model comes out to less than a meter, with the likely range of sea level rise on the order of .4 to .82 meters. So I think Florida is safe.
Perhaps it would be better to discuss what would happen if the yellowstone mega volcano wipes out a bumch of midwest states, which I think is just about as likely as the oceans rising 100 meters.
I’m gonna think that permanently wading through 2 feet of water would definitely impact my life if I stayed about.
That might be a British perspective though, we are slow and loath to change; and we are going to lose plenty of coastline without Climate Change’s effects anyway.
However, the Vanishment of Florida will inspire future civilisations with fantastic legends of the Strange Lost Land. It’s happy trusting people and their especial culture.
Think Dunwich off the Anglian coast where the church bells ring below the waves ! Hy Brasil ! Atlantis ! Lyonesse, once knocking on Cornwall ! Fantastic Ys where Dahut opened the Flood-Gates ! The drowned Welsh valleys that are now reservoirs for England’s Midlands ! Lost Florida will rival them all.
Now if you could lose New Jersey at the same time the ancient prophecies will be complete.
Ah yes! I am commissioning an expedition to the Lost City of Atlanta in 2342.
It’s already stupid to “allow” people to build on the shore. The ocean is a naughty neighbor without needing AGW’s effects.
It’s equally stupid to “allow” people to build near major tectonic faults. San Franciscans have a danger far more proximate, well-supported and significant than some future climate crisis.
We just like Great Causes. Handwringing over AGW is itself delicious, as is the gift of Scold that derives to even the lowliest from joining the Great Cause.
The problem of not reading a thread is that it makes one’s ignorance look bigger than it should be.
As post #23 showed Florida is already having problems and spending millions trying to keep the salt water out of water sources.
The post here also shows that you are ignoring that the IPCC was conservative there, as their reports told us those estimates should be the ones taken into account provided that there would be no acceleration of the loss of cap ice. Unfortunately that has been found, so indeed what you have there are the low end of the estimates and if there is a thing that scientists got wrong was that they have underestimated the loss of cap ice.

Well, there were pushers of FUD also when water sanitation and water works were going to be put in place because the suspicion was that contaminated water caused disease, I think if the ones pushing doubt would had modern methods of seeding doubt thy would had talked about the science not being there showing that cholera was transmitted by contaminated water.
Anyhow the ones against the changes to deal with the contamination in our rivers were also claiming that the cost would destroy their way of life. Indeed it did, many now do not have to die and their quality of life actually did improve.
Most people who have tried to drive through it on the Interstate wish it would get lost now .
Read the thread.
Florida might not be under water then, but it much of its vegetation, including its fruit trees and other crops, would be dead due to seawater invading the soil, not to mention its drinking water supplies.
Science is more complicated than it seems.
I read the thread just fine. I was commenting on the original statement in the OP:
The answer is that there really isn’t. Ain’t gonna happen. Instead, were’s looking at about half to slightly under one meter, most likely. The IPCC also says that if the marine shelf of Antarctica complete collapsed, it would add a few additional tenths of a meter to sea level rise.
Projections are generally for 2100, which isn’t that far away. Some of us have children that will be alive in 2100. But unless you agree that 2100 is the Day of Final Judgement, it’s rather silly to use words like “Ain’t gonna happen. Instead” to discuss such specific dates. The ocean is expected to continue rising 1cm/yr or more for several more centuries.
It may seem, to some, reasonable to ignore long-term projections. But let’s at least not do so with silly misleading diction! 
Florida will not vanish beneath the sea as global warming is a myth and the polar ice caps are not melting and therefore the sea level will not rise. I have this on the best authority; my rabidly republican sister and her rabidly republican friends all say so. Even so, I intend to keep a sharp eye on the situation; when sharks appear in the back yard I will relocate but I don’t know where just yet.
And that’s the steady-state sea level. Consider the land area that would come to be affected by storm surges and there isn’t much left - Florida is pretty damn flat. It doesn’t have to be submerged to become uninhabitable, and most of the inhabited area is coastal anyway.
And is unaffected by partisan political talking points.
Okay, as long as you understand that the OP’s statement is irrelevant anyway and answering it is pointless.
