According to this commentary on the science page when the water levels catch up to the predicted temperature levels we're heading towards we may be seeing like 25 feet of water submerging a lot of the coasts of the world.
Good news is my place where I'm living is going to be fine.

Even at 400m rise in still good, just go from inland mountan to coastal island lol
The map is set to 400 meters of sea level rise by default, just in case you're making the same mistake I did. At 25 meters of rise, I think Florida is the only place that gets turned into an archipelago.
Just FYI for people who didn't notice, the map defaults to 400 meters of sea level rise, so don't freak out too much when you open it up and see half the world under water lol.
That said, 25 meters of sea level rise is still pretty significant. Using the USA as an example, roughly half of both Louisiana and Florida would be under water at 25 meters of rise, and major US cities such as Houston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco are going to be partially/fully underwater.
TL:DR: Make sure you're actually set to 25 meters of rise before thinking you're going to be living underwater, 'cause you should only be underwater if you're in a coastal area/low lying area near the coast.
I'm good till sea level rises 230 meters, so I'm probably ok for a while....
Ny isn’t underwater yet but I want it to get to that point already cos I want to drown
I wish Larry was a disappointment and idk when the next one gonna hit east coast probably not was hoping to get flung in off the board walk
Unfortunately I am still left wondering as the site won't load : (
