Rising oceans are, and will continue to be, a reality. Every year, as more ice melts in Greenland, and Antarctic, etc., the oceans rise a small amount. Over time, this "small amount" will translate into Feet. If all the ice on Greenland melted, the rise would be almost 20 feet....Antarctica melting would send the oceans over 200 ft. higher.
If present trends continue, by this time, next century, Virtually every low lying property on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts will be inundated. The climate scientists say that the US could lose as much as 17% of its total land mass, and well over 100 million people could be displaced. Houston, New Orleans, all of Florida, and most of the cities on the Atlantic seaboard, will begin to resemble Venice near the end of this century.
Anyone who owns property less than 30 or 40 feet above today's sea levels, and wants to pass that property to their heirs, might want to sell it now while it still has some value.
