Fighting a Rising Tide
Ever wonder how rising sea levels might affect property values in your area? Well, wonder no more.
The key, I guess, is to aim in all of your personal consumption decisions for an individual contribution to greenhouse gases commensurate with exactly that amount of global warming that will make your house beachfront property. I'm sure that Kenneth Arrow, or a young Arrow-wannabe, would have a lot to say about the bizarre equilibrium outcomes this might yield.

The graphics are sort of crappy, but basically you can see how much inundation woiuld occur from a given sea level rise by looking at the light blue overlay on what is now land.
