The most recent report from the International Panel on Climate
Change estimated that the global average sea level will rise
between 0.6 and 2 feet (0.18 to 0.59 meters) in the next century
(IPCC, 2007). More recent reports estimate the possible rise of
1 meter by 2100. (see here full artlce) These predictions are
difficult to understand without a visual illustration. The
following image from the Data Blog of the UK Guardian does a
great job of simply illustrating what a meter of more could mean
in reference to common landmarks. - Topic Climate Change Science
