Sea level rises

[armb]

http://flood.firetree.net/ combines Google maps with elevation data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission to draw maps of raised sea levels. The default, of a seven metre rise (corresponding to Greenland's ice cover melting), puts my house on the "shoreline". Via http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/004230.html.
And, while we're on the subject Arctic, Antarctic Melting May Raise Sea Levels Faster than Expected (via http://www.greencarcongress.com/2006/03/polar_melting_m.html).

Hm. Was that the same "sea level rises faster than expected" headline I saw which when you looked closely at the article meant 600 years instead of 1000 years?

It's talking about temperatures "by 2100". But even a 0.5m rise in sea level could make a big difference to, say, Bangladesh.
