That chart may be obsolete. The latest issue of Nature notes a new study (http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/met/SCAR_ssg_ps/ACCE.htm) that predicts up to a 1.4 meter rise by 2100, due to the accelerating meltwater from the West Antarctica ice sheets. The acceleration is partly due to the healing of the ozone hole.

Indeed, greenboy. We don’t want our options to be underwater.

This really isn’t useful unless it also projects where the *new* coastline will be, so we can invest in real estate accordingly…
