Seattle was built by digging through the local hills and dumping them into the bay. Half the downtown wouldn't exist without these massive earthworks done a century ago.

Still plently of hills left to start backfilling if needed.

Might just be because I'm not rich enough, but who has a 5cm thick credit card?

Isn't New Orleans already sinking?

Credit Cards have three dimensions, one of which doesn't seem to bad, so I am sure that is the one policy makers will choose to believe this chart is referencing.

Maybe I’m an idiot but how does “mm per year” classify you as being at a high risk of sinking? Seems a lot different depending on your elevation. The highest peak could sink a meter per year and still not be at risk of flooding

LOL @ Seattle....

yeah, bits will be underwater one day. thank goodness most of the town is up on giant ridge lines and hills.

yeah, ima need to see the methodology dawg

the circle is the city location, not the tip of the cone, for anyone else who was confused

Anything but metric.

Phoenix sinking 1mm a year is so negligible until California splits off. Our worst issue is floods from torrential downpours, not the ocean
