I was wondering who would be the first to point that out.
Congratulations.  OTOH, a raising of ocean levels by much less than 100
meters would be very serious.  Much of popluation lives near sea coast.
A ten meter rise would have a very big impact on them.  A 100 meter rise
in sea level would entirely wipe the state where I grew up, Florida

I don't know exactly what would happen where I live, but am pretty sure
that a 100 meter rise would put most of Maryland from me to the
Appalachian mountain range under water.

How would the Netherlands fare?  I expect from what little I know that
the Holland states would vanish.
