Holland Tunnel Under WaterSo, after all my talk about Global Warming, including the movie An Inconvenient Truth, wouldn’t you like to know what’s going to happen to your piece of real estate if (and when) global sea levels rise over the coming decades? For example, just look at the image here… if seas rise just 10 feet the Holland tunnel in New York will be under water! :-)

Well, Alex Tingle now brings us the Flood Maps Website which allows you to see a visual representation of what will happen at varying levels of rising sea.

He actually put a great deal of thought and effort into building this tool and even includes a detailed analysis of the level of accuracy you can assume – incidentally he claims the maps are actually optimistic, meaning sea level rise would probably be worse than the map projects.

For comparison, there is another tool which creates sea level maps from the University of Arizona here. Also a useful but somewhat more limited sea level map site here.

Go check them out, but also make sure you watch An Inconvenient Truth.
