When the Greenland ice sheet melts sea level will rise by over 20 feet.
That will flood large parts of Melbourne, Sidney, Cairns, Darwin, Fremantle,
Adelaide, and Brisbane. Those parts of Melbourne, Sidney, and Brisbane, which
are not flooded, will be destroyed by then next Pacific tsunami. Of course if
you live in the bush you may see this as an advantage since you won't have to
travel so far to reach the coast where you can surf.
Cheers, Alastair.
