The river in KC is about +800, and in STL it's +400. For a realistic one, Memphis is +200. But for more wild context, Lake Ontario is +240.

Voidhawk42
40% of the worlds pop live within 100km (60miles) of the coast. The refugee displacement alone will destroy our civilisation.
leodavinci1
Not likely. It will change, as civilizations always have.
Voidhawk42
It will destroy OUR civilisation. Not the concept of them. The human species will survive, but likely in a state that is far less pleasant.
sophiadalke
Yeah, right. We were so crushed by the loss of doggerland. It's paltry. Small changes over long periods. But keep jerkin it to the drama.
Voidhawk42
"Change" massively undersells the turmoil, horror, loss of life, and social/technological setback of such a massive discontinuity.

It would if it happened instantaneously but this is a gradual process which happens over many decades if not hundreds of years
erroniousmaximus
How fast do you think populations will change over that same time
Voidhawk42
Even spread over a century, multiple BILLION refugees is not trivial. And it gets compounded by the loss of fertile land and infrastructure.
leechdemon
Totally. 40% of 7B is still 3B people; even if that's in 100 years, that's 30M refugees... every year.
leodavinci1
Coastal land is not typically fertile land of the type where most of the world's food is grown. That's inland.
Voidhawk42
Desertification, dustbowls, increased incidence of hurricanes and floods: all famine-causing and all outputs of runaway climate change.
AxolotlInATopHat
While true, the people and infrastructure moving inland en masse would require less populated inland to be converted, & turn some fertile >
nasukkin
Yes, and sadly it is already too late to stop it for many Pacific Island cultures. We have literally committed genocide by not fixing this.

CAN the ocean even rise that much? I thought the most we'd see if all earth's ice melted was a few meters. Devastating but not 200+ft

"If all glaciers and ice sheets melted, global sea level would rise by more than 195 feet (60 meters)." - Courtesy of NASA
callmethelizardqueen
Okay but is that even a possibility?
ElbowDeepInUserSub
Average depth of the ocean = 12100ft, polar ice = 1.74% of all water, 1.74% of 12100 = 210.54
