I agree that it depends on the area in which you live. However, sea-level rises are not your only concern. When global warming starts to alter weather patterns, the problems may be far more significant than the degree by which the sea rises. You would need to consider the nature of the land on which you live. Is it subject to erosion? This will increase as storms become more frequent, and the waves hit the coastline harder. Could your house cope with being exposed to extreme weather? If this is not a problem, stay put, but be aware that a wrong decision could leave you without a home, or even the ground to rebuild on. And don't forget how insurance premiums for coastal houses will shoot up once the problems really kick in!

Well, is your house on the beach or something? The worst predictions lie at about half a meter or so for the next 100 years (that is in average, I think). Actually, it all depends on where you live. If you are in an area with frequent storms and such, things can get worse than that. But in principle, if you are some 10 meters above sea level on solid ground, you shouldn't worry too much. Living at the seaside is actually nice. Read below for more info.

Not all the coastlines of the world will be flooded. You may be quite fine where you live. But if you have a beachfront house I would consider moving to higher ground. Even without a sea level rise Panama City, Florida and New Orleans are good examples of what happens to beachfront property in a hurricane.

As others have said, it depends on where you live.
In the UK, for example, it's not just sea level changes you have to worry about, but *land* level changes too. If you live in the south of the UK, the land is slowly sinking, but if you live in the north, the land is rising, so you'll be fine.

The temperatures in North united statesa. are interior the top 90s that persons won't be able to almost stay to tell the story. you could have heard it interior the information right this moment. So, i think of people from the northern states could pass to the south somewhat of folk moving from the southern states to the north.

certainly not, because according to estimates it will take more 60 years for the rise of waters by 1 meter, so assuming you are already 10 years or older, there is no much to worry in your life time.

I would, and doing it before there is a foot of water in your living room is better than after.

what you need to do is to avoid the use of devices that causes global warming.
