Rising Ocean Levels - Any Submerged Places Yet?

Question

I was just wondering whether those rising ocean levels have actually led to inundations already, somewhere, or if it's just still a possibility which may manifest itself some time.

Does anyone know of a place that's getting wet feet already?

Answer 1

From Smithsonian Magazine - Will Tuvalu Disappear Beneath the Sea?
The islands of Tuvalu, located in the Pacific Ocean and no more than 15 feet above sea level, is one of the many small island states that are in danger of being washed away as a result of sea level rise, the inevitable consequence of global warming. Flooding from extreme high tides has increased, and big swells and freak waves are washing over the island more frequently. In addition to rising sea levels, Tuvalu has been experiencing more extreme weather conditions such as cyclones and tropical storms since the 1980s. The gravity of the situation has reached the point where the nation’s leaders have asked its neighboring countries, Australia and New Zealand, to accept Tuvaluans as environmental refugees.

Despite the increasing evidence of global warming and its consequential effects on small island states, some scientists strongly state that low-lying islands like Tuvalu will not be submerged.
A few even suggest that instead of vanishing, these islands may actually grow in size and change shape as a result of the islands’ non-static and dynamic nature.

sure right around where all the glaciers are melting....there is a huge lake now in alaska.

Also the maldives (which are soooo beautiful, of the coast of india) will dissapear....

you can look up satellite pictures, its crazy!

As global warming continues the edges of everywhere will be in water, it will rise globally 20 feet, which doesnt seem like a lot....but think about it....all coastal towns are basically ******.

not really, although some polar bear in northern Canada are dealing with global warming by swimming a hell of a lot more
