Lars B raising sea levels by about 8m, is what the science predicts because of its massive volume. I have no idea of the technical facts, just what I've read and accept their predicted outcomes, but the timing is outside any scientific estimation, as they have n idea of how it all works and the southern oscillation, is something they are just beginning to discover works very differently to what they thought. Because the southern ocean is the one ocean that doesn't come up against any land, so creates an uninterrupted control of world currents and the planets weather.
I'm no techie, just a retired builder, but have been watching this climate change since the 1980's and could see way back then that the predictions were way out of whack compared to the reality. Down here In Tas, at port Arthur there is a high and low tide mark carved into the rocks back in the early 1880's. The high water mark has been totally submerged for the last 10 years and the low water mark is higher then the original high water mark by many centimeters. They built a new wharf not far away from Port Arthur a few years ago and at high tide it was a metre above the high water mark, now it laps under the decking and during spring tides, they have to move any boats because the new wharf goes under water.
I'm sure my assumptions are wrong, just as the science is wrong and only the coming reality will show the true effects. I my humble opinion, being prepared for a worse case scenario happening much sooner than later, is a positive move, much better then relying on official claims which are always so far out, they should be taken as guide line, rather than fact.
Even if the sea's only rise 1-2m, that will create havoc across the planet because the vast majority of humans live on the coast and between 1-4m above last century sea levels. Not hard to work out the outcomes of that and when you take into account, rivers will also rise that amount, it increases flooding even further inland.
