2100 - nível médio das águas mais alto em 1,5 metros

"Svetlana Jevrejeva of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, UK, says a new, more accurate reconstruction of sea levels over the past 2000 years suggests that the prediction of a an 18-59 centimetre rise by 2100 made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is wildly inaccurate. Meeting at European Geosciences Union conference in Vienna, Austria, this week, researchers including Jevrejeva said in a statement that the pace at which sea levels are rising is accelerating. They predict they will be 0.8-1.5 metres higher by next century."

"I managed to find this wonderful Google Map Hack that allows you to observe sea level increases. Surf around and take a look at Thailand and Amsterdam under 2m of water. Feel free to post links to other extremely flooded areas below. ... Only one thing left to do: sing!"
