And the calculations suggest that the rise could conceivably exceed six feet, which would put thousands of square miles of the American coastline under water and would probably displace tens of millions of people in Asia.

My calculations suggest that scientists are making a ton of money lying about sea level.
These guys are doing quite nicely out of it – thank you very much:

Since nothing is happening now and since most of us will be long dead by 2100, the prediction is totally meaningless. There is no way to prove or disprove it, any more than little green men from Neptune who are planning to invade in 2100.
Climate science has become the equivalent of the show, “Chasing UFOs”.
I’m thinking that pretty much the whole of the American coastline is under water (twice a day).
thousands of square miles of the American coastline
How do you measure coastline in square miles?
