American Cities Predicted To Be Underwater Between 2050 and 2060

An enduring popular myth suggests that in the 1970s the climate science community was predicting “global cooling” and an “imminent” ice age, an observation frequently used by those who would undermine what climate scientists say today about the prospect of global warming. A review of the literature suggests that, on the contrary, greenhouse warming even then dominated scientists' thinking as being one of the most important forces shaping Earth's climate on human time scales. More importantly than showing the falsehood of the myth, this review describes how scientists of the time built the foundation on which the cohesive enterprise of modern climate science now rests.

The Myth of Global Cooling

Humans have been adapting to temperature changes and sea level rise for 20,000 years,. Nothing new.

You do know one way to adapt is to die, right?

It is a legitimate adaptation. Just ask the dinosaurs, "Why didn't you guys just ADAPT?"

Dinosaurs: "We did the best that we knew how. We died."
 
I suppose many Low land Cities with Rivers run thru it will add 10's of feet of higher Levies.
Build taller buildings to see over them to have the waters view. Many Cities have tall rocky
Hills around to dig off of.
 
Too hot... too cold... make up your mind. A quick search turned these tid bits up.

NY times 1986. (that would be 38 years ago).

A predicted rise in sea level of one foot within the next 30 to 40 years will drive much of the Atlantic and Gulf shoreline inward by a hundred feet and some of it by more than a thousand feet, because of global warming according to marine geologists.
Creeping waters will destroy buildings and roads, wipe out recreational beaches, escalate flood problems many miles inland, pollute community wells with saltwater and drown coastal marshes vital to fish and birds.

Then in March 1988, again, the NY Times, there is this...

Dr. Hecht noted that the earth was now in the later stages of an interglacial period, meaning the temperatures should be growing cooler as a new ice age approached.
 
I just watched a video that exposed 33 predictions of global catastrophe (and we're wrong) since 1970 to more recent times.

The original predictions were of an ice age recurring within a few years. Then around the mid 1970s that was changed to global warming that would melt the polar ice cap within a few years.
