Thanks for stating your opinion, Steve, though had you offered a set of alternative dates - 2040, 2060, 2080-2090, for example - it would have been much more constructive.
Several metres of sea level rise by the 2090s looks increasingly likely.

Agreed?

A World Bank study predicted that 40 percent of Bangkok may be engulfed by water as early as 2030, so my first projection appears fairly reasonable, I would suggest.

100s of millions displaced by 2035 may seem extreme, however, here we see the possibility of 1.4 billion displaced by 2060. Perhaps 200 million by 2035 is not so ridiculous.
And
'All over the world, high tides would creep higher, slowly burying every shoreline on the planet, flooding coastal cities and creating *hundreds of millions* of climate refugees.
All this could play out in a mere 20 to 50 years'.
That's 2036 - 2066.

I was recently informed that this article gives a slightly misleading picture of Hansen's 2016 worse case scenario projection, so 2045 - 2055 is not something I would write again. However expert Richard Alley projects 1m - 6m by 2100, so... 2m by 2065-2075?scientificamerican.com/article/could-…
'Global sea levels will rise 2 to 6 feet by 2100 on the current trajectory, according to satellite data. However, scientists warn that the projections underestimate the climate change impact on sea level rise.'
