Yes, and those are taken account of in models.
It is not just the temperature. It is the rate of change too. And the shifting of populations that will result. It is going to take longer than the end of this century, but southern Florida is toast. You could go down there. Buy a nice house and even sell it at a profit when you died or left the state. But your great grandchildren probably could not spend their lives there. As you can see by this map only 2 feet rise is enough to impact houses on the coast. But sea level rise is projected to be a meter. Worst case scenario, 2.4 meters or 8 feet. But 3 feet is more liely. And CO2 does not come out of the atmosphere quickly. We are likely to continue to warm for another hundred years even if we stopped all fossil fuel burning right now. We are not trying to stop sea level rise at this point in time. We are trying to keep it to a minimum:
Thank you for posting the first alarmist commentary as I easily predicted.
Okay, the "water over our heads" was a bit alarmist. That will not happen to us. But it seems that you do not care for any descendants that you may have.
Actually I had decided I'm not going to pass on my gene pool anytime soon. Everyone is safe from my imperfect genes. ;0)
It was said tongue in cheek, we'll be stuffed well before we get to that. That's not alarmist, that's the road we're on.
Well that depends on how accurate the evidence is. Only time tells and I'm sure once everyone sees a fire, there will no longer be a need to convince others to be on board.
It's nearly too late now. Sitting around doing nothing is not the sensible response. We ARE wrecking the biosphere right now.

I do understand and we certainly should take care of our earth. Just noting that there is a quick decline from 5 - 0 and the quick increase is relatively recent and the future is a conjecture at this point.
While you can, of course.
Insurance companies. The warmer the temperatures the more extreme weather events. They face more and more payouts, and that means higher premiums for all of us.
That’s just crazy talk! Trump went outside in December and noted - “It’s cold! See? No global warming!”
You mite not like the cost of living here
Translation....
Why do you say that it is conjecture? You do not get to claim that without refuting the current models, which have been very accurate to date if you go with the estimates in the middle. The best case scenarios have never occurred, but then neither have the worst case scenarios either. So when the worst case scenario for sea level rise by the end of the century is 8 feet I do not take that one seriously. Nor do I take the best case scenario of only a foot or so.
I know I wouldn't be able to have as much as I have here.
