Wacky PlanetUPDATE: As Steve Bloom points out in the comments, this is a bit extreme (it also may vanish again, it already has once, since it is hosted on the sales site.) On the other hand, Alex Tingle has given us an early
holiday Christmas present, a
really neat toy based on Google maps and NASA elevation data, which can show you sea level rises up to 14 m on any scale! and
here are the instructions on how to do it yourself.
I'm getting one, but I have to say that the degree of land disappearance shown seems a bit extreme even for complete melting (= about 75 meters of sea level rise IIRC).
ReplyDeleteAs apostles of the full 75 meter rise (we also fully intend to live till 2300 or Disney's Mickey Mouse copyright runs out, whichever comes later), we are fully in accord with SOME exaggeration.
ReplyDeleteOn the otherhand there are some neat sea level rise toys out there, such as this (only 14 m alas, to see full effects you have to zoom in somewhat on a costal area)
