Ever wondered how global warming will effect you? Luckily for me even in the worst case scenario my home is safe.

How many metres did you add?

 

[Polymathic]

went all the way to 60m

 

[acidman1]

13m and I will have a sea view

 

[phiber]

Can't wait to have a sea view up in jhb!!

 

[ITCynic]

Damn, 13m before I live in a beachfront apartment

 

[Polymathic]

At 13m Central Durban is basically an island

 

[mfumbesi]

The Northen Cape would be a wetland even at +13m. Sweet.

 

[UnUnOctium]

Wow, the island of Cape Town...

 

[Deep78]

hmmm 60m and I will have a sea view as well :}

 

[MickeyD]

60m and I have an excellent beach side property!!!

 

[ToxicBunny]

Meh.. even at 60m.. i'm too far away to get a beach side property *sulk*

Tho my folks would have an AWESOME seafront property on a nice little peninsula...

I'm not sure which is more accurate - this site or my gps because it says my house is 43m above sea level and the site claims 20-30m.

cool about 10 meters and I'll have a sea side home on the 'beach'.

Any more than that and I'd join the "50 million climate refugees" we were supposed to have last year

maybe you live close to a river? Interesting to see how the rivers will increase in size.

Site uses Spring Tide measurements!

Interesting scenarios. So many major cities around the world will be devastated. Wow!

Also don't think its that accurate.

My grandparents live in lakeside and they will get water in their garden if the level raises by half a meter... the site says 2m.
I think the Google earth height affected by the height of the houses, meaning that accuracy is out by between 2-3 m depending on the building heights.
