re: #701 Coracle

A meter over the century, so probably a foot or so. But I’m becoming convinced that’s lowball. I really don’t think I’d want to be be on South Beach or the barrier islands at high tide in a few decades. Of course, I’d love to be wrong on that.

Yeah but isn’t the IPCC prediction a curve, with most of the rise later in the century? So, a meter for the whole century might be 8 inches for the first 1/3, 13 inches for the second third and 18 inches for the last third for a total of 39 inches and an — more or less — constant second derivative of sea level.

By the way, their low end is 7 inches for the whole century, right? That’s even lower than the current rate so I’m a bit surprised.
