Pretty Soon Sea Level Is Not Going To Mean What You Think It Means

In lots of different places.  Three meters--not three feet--three meters higher sea level is going to be a nightmare for too many people around the world.  Sea ice is floating at least, so when we lose it a ever-accelerating rates the sea level doesn't shoot up.  The glaciers on land, though...that's not good.  That water is going to overflow the bathtub in places we all know and in places most of us have never even heard of.  When Manhattan uses the NYPD to invade and occupy Binghamton in order to create the New Manhattan, it will be kinda' funny.  When entire nations disappear and entire cultures are destroyed and millions die and orders of magnitude more become refugees, that will be hell on earth.
