"Collapse Of Antarctic Ice Sheet Would Likely Put Washington, D.C.
Largely Underwater”

“The catastrophic increase in sea level, already projected to average
between 16 and 17 feet around the world, would be almost 21 feet in
such places as Washington, D.C. ... There is widespread concern that
the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be prone to collapse, resulting in a
rise in global sea levels ...”.

Note that many areas of oil production would be under water, as well
as New Orleans and much of Southern Florida.
