Fun with floods

The volume level on global warming has been nudging up over here, fuelled largely by the wailing and gnashing of teeth over gas prices and a ratcheting up of mockery of Al Gore. Geezer is having a fair crack at raising awareness, but the great American way of life is a tough zit to pop.

So why not have some fun at this site and see how many metres the sea level needs to go up before your home slips under the waves. On the right here is lower Manhattan after a 9m rise, and a closer examination reveals that my current corner of Soho is going to get wet.





London won't be any help. Battersea is going to be moist underfoot too - and this is after just 7m. Sleep tight.
