You can forget the lifeboats, but you'd better have them ready for your grandchildren.
Yea... okay
You better start building an ark... oh wait, there isn't enough ice on the planet to raise the oceans even 50 feet. There are hundreds of ancient cities that were built on coasts which are now under 30-100 feet of water. Oh look, 100 feet of ocean rise and not only are we still here, but the population has exploded.

The sky is falling chicken little
Try 230 feet, and if they reach that level there will be many more cities under the seas (It would cover all coastal cities)....Nobody is saying that rising oceans are going to wipe out humans, but it would be damned inconvenient and very expensive
Yeah, I did, but I'm not wading through all that material...The forum terms of service require that a link be posted.
Brookings is neutral, some say slightly left leaning, research group. If one wants an impartial report on Chinese research and steps to climate change, they are about as good as it gets.

Hey, so I'm a skeptic on 'anthropogenic Global warming' but....
in the last 10,000 or 11,000 years, the sea has come up 400 feet. The fact is, another three or four or eight feet would make a hell of a mess in all the major port cities of the world. And we've gone up and average of 4 feet per century for ten millennia.
This is a problem. Not saying the anti-carbon guys have the solution, maybe it is great that we are holding off the next ice age. But it is a problem.
To me this is the strongest evidence of global warming....
Sea levels on Earth are rising several times faster than they have in the past 2,800 years and are accelerating because of man-made global warming, according to new studies.
Until the 1880s and the world's industrialization, the fastest seas rose was about three to four centimetres (1 to 1.5 inches) a century, but today the rate of rise is more than a foot per century.
That is already causing problems, which will only get worse in the future.
