Sorry for the late response. We had a thunderstorm, Lightning struck and burnt my Modem.
Actually, 20,000 years ago in the thick of the last ice age, Sea levels were hundreds of feet lower than today. Tremendous amount of water was locked in ice covering the whole of Europe, Russia etc. From the Tip of South-Africa to Australia was one unbroken coastline.!! From Australia to Tip of South-America was also one unbroken coastline.!!
Coming and going of ice-age has something to do with the precession of the earth axis. When the axis tilts to 24
degree the world cools and ice sheets begin to advance. When the axis starts moves towards 23 degrees ice sheets melt and warming phase starts. Right now the Earth's axis is 23.5 degrees.
Fossil records for the past 50 million years show periodic extinction of mammals coresponding with the precession of the axis and also the advancing and receding of the periodic ice ages.
Computer simulation in Super-computers show that a rise in the Average Global temperature by a few degrees would wipe out the Rain-forests in the Tropics.
Tropical Rain-forests are extremely sensitive to temperature flucations. A rise in Average Global temperature will see the Rain-forests replaced by Savanna grasslands. The loss of bio-diversity will be massive.

Good! That should take care of Earth's over-population problem.
Plus, Arizona will have great ocean-front property.
