Slang, did you miss the part about that map shows what would happen if ALL the ice melted. Nobody believes that will happen until maybe the Sun cooks the Earth millions of years down the line. However at the rate we're going some low places will flood, some low Pacific islands already have a problem. With the increased intensity of hurricanes/typhoons it's an even bigger problem for them.
One of the problems is 30 or more years ago when scientists first brought the issue to light, the journalist started the sky is falling shit and it didn't happen.
I remember is the 60's the prediction that at the rate of population growth in the US it wouldn't be long before we would each have a square yard to stand on.
That wasn't the prediction of scientists, it was journalists. Well, 60 years later I have 4.5 acres to stand on.
If Americans are worried about the threat of Central Americans moving north, think how the Canadians must feel about the threat Americans moving north.
