Thanks- yours is a better map. NYCity & environs will really see something dramatic happening… a lot of expensive real estate submerged. Here in MA also- mostly our coastal tourist areas.
We live in central Mass- and I thought we would be on the sea, have waterfront property- but not so soon– thank goodness for all.
It’s easy to feel helpless and hopeless- yet it’s heartening to listen to Ronald Prinn about where there is some hope- and that there is.

This is shocking and discouraging if we don't act now to do what we know to do. There is a lot of push back against this from politicians so really starting an initiative is going to be a challenge. Order Checks Online

And the solution is a global financial megastate regulating the production of every carbon molecule… raising the price of food every year, for the benefit of carbon traders in NYC and their buddies in Washington, in a world full of starvation already.

Do these clowns actually believe that coming down on marginal producers will all of a sudden make everybody go to whole foods and spend $4/lb. on the organic red peppers? Land use will be worse, not better. The middle class will be further impoverished to the benefit of the big carbon traders.

Try those faulty links again, Potter. Sorry about my posting goof. The maps are there now, and worth waiting for!

I am interested that Google map which has 2 faulty links above. I did find one through a Google search and I am not sure if it’s the one you chose. There are several very interesting ones to explore on climate change (search “map climate change”). This one, which does not work on Safari browser but does work for me on Firefox, is from the University of Arizona. It is interactive and shows sea level rise: http://geongrid.geo.arizona.edu/arcims/website/slrus48prvi/viewer.htm

I would be interested if there is another map.

I had to listen to certain parts of this interview twice to allow the numbers to sink in. Thank you for this interview with Ronald Prinn and for keeping the focus on what is happening to us. Paul Krugman just called this “Boiling the Frog” ( July 12th column NYTimes)
