Is everyone aware of the sea-level rise we are causing now? 1 meter will be catastrophic for many coastal cities and regions.
At 2 °C warming we comit the world to a long-term rise by 8-13 meters until the ice sheets come to a new equilibrium. Source: http://www.ipcc.ch

I fully believe it, I just don't think the people there get it or care they're so caught up in going back to the 1950's with the little fascist governor. Their property insurance market is beyond a mess and going to get a lot worse. Almost nobody has flood insurance there.
