CONSEQUENCES OF A RISING BAY
GLOBAL WARMING: New set of maps reveals how melting polar ice could change shoreline and carry a high price for entire region

...snip
-- In the North Bay, low areas include Bel Marin Keys, parts of Highway 37 and much of the former Hamilton Air Force Base around Black Point. Parts of Highway 101, Mill Valley and Sausalito would be flooded. Sections of Corte Madera would be under water as would southern San Rafael.

-- On the San Francisco shoreline, vulnerable spots include parts of Mission Bay housing and office developments, Caltrain tracks, Candlestick Point redevelopment, Heron's Head Park and the city's sewage-treatment system on Islais Creek. Parts of Treasure Island and the San Francisco and Oakland airports would be under water.

-- Foster City and parts of San Mateo, Redwood City, Mountain View and Palo Alto would be flooded. Waters would inundate sewage treatment plants located in Palo Alto, Sunnyvale and Alviso, which serve dozens of cities and thousands of businesses. Parts of Shoreline Park at Mountain View would be at risk of flooding.

-- Parts of Alameda, San Leandro, Hayward, Union City, Fremont and Newark, including sections of Interstate 880, would be covered with water.

1. that's nothing compared to what will happen to pretty much the whole state of Florida.

and the oceans will probably rise a bit more than 3 feet.

quite a bit.

2. Al Gore said New York city will be underwater by the year 2010

only three more years to proove himself right.

4. Well, not quite. Parts of NYC not all.

[dysfunctional press]

5. when did he say that...?

surely you must have a link to something like that...

[depakid]

6. I believe that was 2100

Less than 93 years to go....

7. I'm not sure of the date as the many prediction articles

inconviently get pulled from news or organization websites after taking up so much space. the 2010 prediction about Manhatten island/New York city was here
http://www.treehugger.com/files/th_exclusives/th_city_series/ ( was an article about seven cities at risk )

http://climatecrisis.org/
btw, do you have a story link to that 2100 prediction ?
I wonder if it will also end up as a broken link

[merh]

8. sorry but

Error! Page Not Found

do you have a better link?

10. Try again or go back where you came from. PROVE Gore ever

said NYC would be "underwater by 2010". Provide a VALID link, or STFU.

11. Well, the city series is here...

http://www.treehugger.com/th_exclusives/th_city_series/

But it's about how green (or not) various cities are: There doesn't seem to be anything about NY going underwater in 2010 or 2100. Perhaps you'd like to take a look and refresh your memory?

9. Please give us a link to this alleged fact.

3. I wonder how many speculators will reap $$$$$$$$$$$ from the "new frontier" n/t
