If it hits 7200 feet Laramie will be 20 feet from flooding!
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Global cooling was never something that everyone was talking about.

Wasn't there a Time cover article or some such?

At any rate, you're right. MAD was a much scarier prospect than global cooling in the 70s.

Is the map just a simple 'paint all areas  blue that are below x sea level' dealy or does it take into account natural barriers?

The former.  I looked at a close-in of South Florida and it was just highlighting every lake, pond, and other low spot on the map.
But only on the coasts.  The level of the Great Lakes, for example, doesn't rise.

I have long decided that I am not going to care about global warming or rising sea levels.

I'll be dead while the future's children are growing up, what's that to me?

Vienna is safe, but with even a 1 meter rise my old hometown would suddenly be a coastal city.

If you want, we can hurry that along.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Can you grow future's children faster?

According to the map the water should be seeping in already (at 0 m.)   :yeah:

No joke.  That thing ever pops, it'll make Krakatoa look like a roman candle.  It's like having a dozen Tsar Bombas under our skin.
