    oh yeah. i was going to post an article on a similar subject (Rising Sea Levels Will Isolate People Long Before They’re Underwater) but i guess i’ll just drop it here. it’s an under-discussed part of rising sea levels: for a lot of people, it won’t be the sea itself that makes them move, but the consequences that come from the sea rising at all around them. Miami, for example? the groundwater there will be ruined by saltwater infiltration long before the city itself begins to be permanently flooded, although it’s likely much of the city will eventually do that as well.
