Jacksonville Under Water: What Could Disappear

[thelakelander]

Maps show coastal and low-lying areas that would be permanently flooded, without engineered protection, in three levels of higher seas. Percentages are the portion of dry, habitable land within the city limits of places listed that would be permanently submerged.

Well, glass half full (or city half flooded) atleast our descendants far in the future will have 56% of Jax to work with.

Interesting flood zones, but predicated on only a couple of hundred years of historical data.

What if we cut 100% of our airborne pollution and the seas still rise? What then?

Great idea!  Let's try it! 

If it stops the seas, hooray!, crisis averted.  If it doesn't stop the seas, you can run around telling everyone you know that you predicted it, write a book about it, make a lot of money.  It is a win win for you.  I support you fully in this endeavor.

When I was a young boy, I had heard what I thought at the time to be tall tales of this massive park system which would have had extensive, permanent ramifications down through our time now.
