    As bad as it is, I really doubt it would put New York or Hong Kong underwater. They would build seawalls well before that happened.
    It's the other long term effects on ocean life and weather conditions that concern me more.
    I enjoy blank walls.

    OTOH we're not all that good at planning in advance these days, so one wonders if there would be enough time once we finally decided to believe the worst really was going to happen. How long would it take to build a giant sea wall around NYC? Relating to Lady Liberty, I wonder if they would move it rather than let it get flooded or build a sea wall around the island. Or maybe build up the platform she's on so she stood above the water....

    Regarding the movie, I thought it was cool they still occupied the portions of the buildings above water, something as unlikely as the statue still standing. And I don't think anyone has predicted the water getting that deep either.
    The Rules
    Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
    Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
    Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
