Re: Rising sea levels are going to mess with the internet

Steve,


You are simply wrong. The sea level is rising at an increasing rate. The average sea level will go up by 30 centimeters 
to 1 meter by 2100. And of course, the storm surge will increase by a multiple of that.


Sources: NOAA.


It means access networks along the two coasts will be increasingly down.

So, I accept the data.  Going back to 1880 I will be generous and say that you have a 250 mm rise in sea level (which 
is about 10 inches for us Imperial types).  I think we will probably be ready to outrun that problem.  Let's get back 
to real network threats like BGP Hijacking which can wipe you out tomorrow.
