I'm not an ecologist, but my guess would be that most of the top of the food pyramid comes tumbling off if we continue as we do, and a lot of ecosystems will go into disequilibrium, causing further extinctions. It's a very dangerous situation for the human species to be in. We're not technologically ready to survive as more than a rump if the ecosystem services we rely on fall down. The amount of social upheaval that will accompany this transition makes planning it impossible. I'm pessimistic about human survival in the face of catastrophic climate change.
It would be an unfathomable catastrophe.
Now, I don't expect +70m anytime soon, and by that I mean within the next million years. It would be too catastrophic not to take the most drastic of actions. Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
Mig provided a link that showed the global effects of sea level increases up to 7 meters. I believe that such a link that showed the effects of a 70 meter rise might be useful to show people what their great, great grandchildren, if any, could be inheriting. Just because we will all be dead does not mean that we can abandon concern for posterity. Perhaps one of the benefits of increased life span could be a heightened concern for future generations, more of whom some of us might see. As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
