N0mesorah, why should people be concerned only for 15 years?

Anyway it looks like the worst case scenario according to scientists would be about 4 degrees celsius average temperature rise by 2100 with average sea levels rising by about 4 feet. Obviously scientists have been wrong about lots of things and hopefully this is one if them, but if you suppose they were right, a 4 feet sea level rise would be bad news for anyone owning property in Miami Beach, Coney Island, or anywhere by the beach. A four degree C rise in temperature is the difference between the average temperatures for New York vs Atlanta, so it would be noticeable.

Supposing the scientists are right and the worst case scenario happened, it doesn’t sound like the end of civilization, but it does sound like something it would be good to be prepared for.
