Global warming will not magically stop in 2100. Equilibrium temperatures for 500ppm of CO2 are around 5-8 degrees Celsius above today’s. We may also have locked in 40m sea level rise already. https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/06/are-past-climates-telling-us-were-missing-something/?amp=1&__twitter_impression=true …

Here in Maui, we are already preparing for large increases in the sea level in this generation.

My body possesses positive buoyancy. Actually, even the most pessimistic numbers for the middle of the Pacific don’t hit 40 meters. The East Coast has it bad because of the nature of the Gulf Stream. (Sea level is not the same around the globe owing to currents and winds)

Yes, US north east is especially interesting, but all of the northern hemisphere is a bit more affected due to the loss of gravitational pull of Antarctic sea ice. But fortunately it will all happen *after* the AI has killed us :)
