LOL... the hero of Global warming did warn us:

1. Rising Sea Levels—inaccurate and misleading. Al was even discovered purchasing a beachfront mansion!

2. Increased Tornadoes—declining for decades.

3. New Ice Age in Europe—they've been spared; it never happened.

4. South Sahara Drying Up—completely untrue.

5. Massive Flooding in China and India—again, didn't happen.

6. Melting Arctic—false—2015 represents the largest refreezing in years.

7. Polar Bear Extinction—actually they are increasing!

8. Temperature Increases Due to CO2—no significant rising for over 18 years

9. Katrina a Foreshadow of the Future—false—past 10 years, no F3 hurricanes; "longest drought ever!"

10. The Earth Would be in a "True Planetary Emergency" Within a Decade Unless Drastic Action Taken to Reduce Greenhouse Gasses—never happened.

Back in the dark ages when I was in school the thought was that a major earth quake was going to break off California from the main land. Hasn't happened.

seems a tad soon 50 years , more like 200 years

Well, only about half of Florida - roughly the southern and western bits, where it's all resting on hollow coral bubbles. That's the good news.

The bad news is, it's going to be a lot less than 50 years: Miami is already having persistent flooding in some suburbs, where the water is coming up through the porous ground it's built on. I would seriously not buy property in Florida if you expect to live more than 10-15 years.

(theres a bunch more from any quick google, including the Miami Herald, this just seemed quick and coherent).

what about other states?
@Error404: There was a [i]rumor[/i] decades ago, that California would be split in half by a gigantic earthquake, and that Southern Ca would end up in the ocean.
The Pacific Northwest, particularly around the coast of Oregon is overdue for a Massive Earthquake with resulting Tsunami. Apparently it is going to happen soon, just not sure how soon.
Now that's Really Scary!

i'm scared that America will be underwater.
lorne13 · 61-69, M
the ocean levels have begun to rise so...maybe 55 years?
abe182 · 46-50, M
Is Georgia or Alabama experiencing oceans rising? Or maybe it's just that Florida is sinking. Use your brains people.
Booyeah · 41-45, M
@abe182: According to their own reports, for every area that's showing ice/glacial melt, there's another area showing growth.
Frenchgoddess · 26-30, F
@Booyeah: oh boy I hope the eastern states okay.
abe182 · 46-50, M
@Booyeah: 😱shhhhhhh
Socialclutz · 36-40, M
maybe Florida will sink into the ocean from the worm holes. Anything by the left is a hoax.

Frenchgoddess · 26-30, F

SW-User
@Error404:
