Comment on How Climate Resilient Are the Largest Cities?parent

As a researcher in this general area I would not say 2m by 2100 is a consensus view of the worst case scenario see [1].

Here is a useful scenario for understanding what different SLR scenarios mean for the states [2]

[2] https://coast.noaa.gov/slr/

("most of the Florida peninsula will be under water in 50-100 years" is certainly not true, however, Miami would be in a very difficult spot at 2m SLR)

Your link implies less than 2m, strengthening my point?

I said 'even in the most cataclysmic scenarios'

Yes, I was agreeing with you. I apologize for being unclear.
