    You can input the sea level rise and see what happens. I thought it was cool to view the impact for the northern Virginia areas I'm familiar with. They say if all ice caps melt the rise would be 70 meters, btw.

      It would flood DC.

      I guess it's true about every cloud having a silver lining.

        Don't worry about it.

        This is Virginia, we don't use meters.

            With exactly 70 Meters I will have an island home directly on the water. Should I start building a dock now, or wait a bit?

                Didn't that happen about 10 years ago?

                  Yellowstone could blow an existential amount of lava across the American continent at any moment. Yet children visiting the park still jump up and down, like the entire human race doesn't depend on them not accidentally causing the volcano to blow. Republican children jump, Democrat children tip toe.

                    Besides… if the icecaps melt, it’s because the earth will be several degrees warmer… that means most of the water will just evaporate due to the hotter sun.

                      LD is in the sweet spot. If the ice caps melted and yellowstone erupted, he would have the rare water front property that doesn't have much ash!

                        The yellowstone eruption that wiped the human race off the planet on August 21 2021, was the second most momentous thing that happened that year, after January 6.

                          It bothers me that the scientist spelled it "yellow stone". Perhaps he's referring to a specific yellow stone he found while hiking one day.
