Say goodbye to Miami and New Orleans.
No matter what we do to curb global warming, these and other beloved US cities will sink below rising seas, according to a study released Monday.
But making extreme carbon cuts and moving to renewable energy could save millions of people living in iconic coastal areas of the United States, said the findings in the October 12 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a peer-reviewed US journal.
Scientists have already established that if we do nothing to reduce our burning of fossil fuel up to the year 2100, the planet will face sea level rise of 14-32 feet (4.3–9.9 meters), said lead author Ben Strauss, vice president for sea level and climate impacts at Climate Central.
The big uncertainty is the issue of when.

1:10 amen
If you build your house in the middle of a highway, dont complain about the traffic.
Remember according to Al Gore Manhattan is already under water!
Are we the smartest people in the world? New Orleans. Built 5 feet below sea level and filled with Democrats on welfare that will loot if there is a thunder storm. Who really cares if it sinks. Not I.
there is nothing more unsustainable than a shoreline!
Al Gore said by this time, NYC would be under water.
Last time I checked, looked like people walking down the sidewalk.
Those libtards just won't get off the global warming crap even when it been so thoroughly debunked as it has.
All they have remaining is scare tactics and name calling
This is part of the UN/Democrats agenda to promote renewable energy at any and all cost. It's time for MSM to recognize this scam.
When a solar panel is subsidized by Big Oil and higher electric rates, it becomes no longer a "green energy". It is a whore to Big Oil.
They want a new tax .it's always about the money.
