NOAA believes sea levels could increase by as much as 8 feet within 8 decades. That may not seem like a lot, but 6 million Americans, including Marylanders, could be displaced.
The report says the northeast has a high risk. Prominently displayed on the front page was Ocean City, Maryland.
At best, levels could rise by a foot, but the worst case scenario means levels could creep upwards of 8 feet by the year 2100.
Groups like Environment Maryland have lobbied the governor to take action now.

I don't see this as a problem. Glad to see the demise of OC.
Its all about the Benjamins.
Damn, Ocean Pines with ocean front property by 2100 and no Assawoman Bay...where the hell am I gonna fish??
(psst, you'll be WAAAAAAAAAY LONG gone by then!)
Oh, WTH was I thinking??
What a beautiful day....(wait for it)
FOR FISHIN!!!!!
if you keep stating a lie they will eventually believe it
I'm glad I bought a acre on a hill and built on it. All that might happen to my property is that it might become waterfront property. That wouldn't be so bad.
What would they like Gov. Hogan to do?
$$$$$
That's all they want.
It's the sun, dummy. I've been saying this for 10 yrs. It was scientifically proven last year by an Aussie. Not owing allegiance to the cabal pukes pushing this taxing agenda, he was able to do actual science. What a concept! The Global Warming models are flawed, skewed in favor of warming.
In 2009, the sun entered a cooling period. Within 2 yrs, the polar ice had recovered 75% of the ice it had lost in the previous 23 years. Anyone still buying the Global Warming lie is not paying attention.
Its not as much the rising water as it is the sinking/lowering of the shelf that makes up the east coast.
These people are crooks! My father is almost 80 years old and says the tides here in Crisfield were higher when he was a boy than now. Same old BS, create a crisis that doesn't exist and convince the gullible that only these environmental groups,NGOs and gov morons can solve it with tax payer $, why they laugh all the way to the bank
10:37. Why would you want to see the demise of any community? Especially one that brings so much revenue to the state and the shore and provides livlihoods for thousands of people. If you don't like OC, don't visit. I don't understand people who seem to thrive on negativity. Very sad.
My drink just spilled over onto my desk after the ice melted. Damn!
Can a climatologist please explain this phenomenon: If most of the ice is floating, why will it cause oceans to rise when it melts?
Been around for over 4 decades and the bay has not risen over 4 feet. I call B.S.
Glad to see that ignorance of science is so prevalent on the Shore.
8 feet will wipe out not just the oceanfront towns, but most of those up and down the ocean and bay that have tidal rivers.
is this another alarmist study by NOAA? they have done so many of these in the past...
12:13... see 11:35. Riddle me this... if 90% of ice is floating, how will it affect sea levels? I know its a trick question for a 4 year old, but a smarty-pants like you should have no problem providing a scientific explanation.
climate change is real, and you simpletons need to just stfu and open up your wallets and give your money to me! just like the liberals, I won't do a damn thing about it but I'll enjoy a nicer life style because of it, (not climate change, i.e. your stupidity)!
or is the beach eroding?
I hope it's true and the Atlantic swallows this hell hole up. 🌊
You embrace some so called science "global warming " yet you cast the fact that the solar system is warming , out of the equation. The global warming theory is that man is causing the temperature increase, not a fact, Mars temperature has risen that is a fact! Hence temperature change on two planets is not calsed by man!
You probably believed the ice age sh#t that everyone was talking about in the 80s . CLOWN!
Since when does 80 years equal a "few" decades?
If you don't like it the bridges to Delmarva do have outbound lanes!
Blaa blaa blaa chicken little!
You can't have it both ways people.No one has ever had it both ways.Even an agenda driven person has to make the decision of why this is happening.
Not to worry; if you downloaded the car dealer sponsored weather app you'll have plenty of notice!
