Just another item pandering to the idiots of today.
2D map

I've seen others that I thought showed less landmass than this one. Either way, my house would be 60' under water with all glacial ice in liquid form. [Zimmy, Apr 07 2009]

[marked-for-del3tion] magic. Nobody knows this result, for sure. Now, a series of globes that represented different predictions from the candy store variety of geological surveys, etc. is fine. Also, you can just choose your favorite, but that will be misleading. |

How about a waterballoon? |

I think you could probably make this a lot more general. If you just had some kind of projection device in the centre, you could do things like adjust the height of the water, travel in time, change the planet depicted and display different styles of map such as population density. |

//[marked for deletion] magic. Nobody knows this result, for

caps will melt. But we know fairly accurately how much
water would be released if they did. And, since we know the
topography of the planet pretty well, we can easily tell how
it would look if the caps melted. |

It's also known how high the land is elevated and therefore where the coastlines would be. Rather than thinking of this as a global warming globe, i prefer to think of it as a display device on which various maps can be illustrated. I do, however, wonder about the appearance of new islands as a result of soil erosion. |

globe can mean 'light bulb' |

Maybe all the water evaporates, [MB], and the earth turns into some sort of crazy cloudland. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF THAT??? |
|
| |
And, I'm really not following how I've somehow misrepresented the goal here. The guy/girl wrote a one liner. |

Fine. I'll retract the MFD. I still think the idea should just be a globe that shows shoreline strictly based on sea level rises, and not ice caps melting. The two are not in exact correlation. |
