National Geographic's latest global warming scare: "The entire Atlantic seabord would vanish" - "London? A memory"

True to its present warmist policy, the once highly regarded National Geographic is again trying to scare people with global warming. This is how the NG introduces its new "interactive maps":

Explore the world’s new coastlines if sea level rises 216 feet.

The maps here show the world as it is now, with only one difference: All the ice on land has melted and drained into the sea, raising it 216 feet and creating new shorelines for our continents and inland seas.

There are more than five million cubic miles of ice on Earth, and some scientists say it would take more than 5,000 years to melt it all. If we continue adding carbon to the atmosphere, we’ll very likely create an ice-free planet, with an average temperature of perhaps 80 degrees Fahrenheit instead of the current 58.

 

Here are a few excerpts from the texts accompanying the maps:

"The entire Atlantic seabord would vanish, along with Florida, San Francisco's hills would become a cluster of islands and the Central Valley a giant bay."

"London? A memory. Venice? Reclaimed by the Adriatic Sea. "... the Netherlands will have long since surrendered to the sea and most of Denmark will be gone too."

 

Here are the people responsible for the these "facts":
