True, good point, but the general idea still stands. It's gonna be (I'm totally guessing here) like at least another 70 years before sea level rise + storm flooding events will make inland areas uninhabitable
It'll be within the next ten years that it'll get hit by a Katrina-like event.
The models the ICC accepted were all "in line with historical data". So much so that the "Hot Model Problem" became a known thing, models predicting climate change that were too hot for the ICC to accept.
Our models are conservative, likely by a good margin.
If you read the link i posted you'll see the numbers i quoted are already based on the worst case scenario of prediction ranges, rather than the scenario currently considered most likely. And your claim about a katrina level event happening there seems to be pulled out of nowhere, do you have a source citation for that prediction?
