Ocean water is pushing miles beneath Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier” on a daily basis making it more vulnerable to melting than previously thought, according to new research, which used radar data from space to perform an X-ray of the crucial glacier.

        Damn at just 5 ft most of southern Louisiana is completely submerged. And these are probably not the wealthiest people so where do they go? Do they live in FEMA trailers further in land? Do we as a country have a contingency plan for this ? I doubt it but I hope I’m wrong.

        I mean there probably are enough homes to help these people but that may cut into Blackrock’s rental profit so that’s out of the question…

        The more I look at this map the more overwhelmed I get at the number of people that will be displaced at just 5 ft.

        This map makes sea level rise look like nothing
