Nothing like watching global warming dismember the planet. Can anyone say "Waterworld"?

The breakup of iceshelves will not raise sea-level, becuase it is already floating in the water - makes no difference. But if an ice shelf breaks off and allows contenental ice to flow into the sea more easily, then it makes a big difference - this will raise sea level. Buy property at >150 ft asl.

I'm at about 2000'. If it becomes oceanfront property, that shouldn't hurt the value too much...

The most telling thing to me is the Texas-New Mexico border, where you can see the old coast line, and the old off shore islands, and come to the stark realization that in reference to those, Texas would be under about 200 ft of water. The pre-ice age prehistoric maps show the Gulf of Mexico covering the Great Plains, splitting America in half. What changed that? The Ice Age locked all that water up in the Ice Caps. Here's the news: It's coming back.

How long away is that? Most of the ice in the world is in Antartica sitting on dry land, as is the case in Greenland and Northern Canada and Northern Siberia. If they start to melt, we are screwed. They are already detecting a massive acceleration in Greenland.
