How will rising sea levels show up on this?

[Wilhammer]

While doing a little Black Sea research I came across this handy tool;

flooding based on depth in meters charting thingy:

I just took a look at Fort Wadsworth (Staten Island NY) where I lived in the 70s. The tool shows that with a rise of 14 meters a bluff over 200 ft above the current shore would be under water, while a lower section of road was dry. Looks like the tool needs a little refining.

So, more lies from the Global Warming Crowd, I see

Bugger, even with a 14m rise in sea level I still don't get water views. Rotten damn hill.

I will save about 5 minutes on my drive to the beach with a 14m rise. Plus it would wipe out the unsightly strip of bogan hamburger shops and KFCs.

Bogan - that is the second time today I have run into :almost: that word.

Bogon I heard for the first time today - I am not a Network guy, so this term was alien to me;

The term "bogon" stems from hacker jargon, where it is defined as the quantum of "bogosity", or the property of being bogus. A bogon packet is frequently bogus both in the conventional sense of being forged for illegitimate purposes, and in the hackish sense of being incorrect, absurd, and useless: see Quantum bogodynamics.

Quantum bogodynamics - a fascinating 'science'.

Bogans occupy their slab of Aussie suburbia. Every city, town and hamlet has its resident bogan(s). Here's a website devoted to them.

Oh yeah! 14m and I get sea side property, global warming here I come!

well, the tool is not very accurate. I just went New Orleans and started with 1m rise in sea level. Assuming that the levees were not there to protect New Orleans, it only shows spotty flooding even in the lowest areas of the city which are typically 5-8 feet below current sea levels to begin with.

Using my knowledge of what actually flooded in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, I determined that the setting of 4m(13.12 ft) best represents what actually flooded. However, I also know that in reality the flooding never got above 2.5 above sea level. Therefore, I can estimate that this tool is off by over 10 feet. An actual flood of 4m above sea level would cover the entire city except the levees.

Bogon, huh?

Not like you would have 67.000 new climate refugee neighbours.
