I have included the source of the above numbers.
Tracking 30 Years of Sea Level Rise
Incidentally, the statement that most of Florida coastline will be underwater is nonsensical. By definition coastline is the boundary between where land meets water. The coastline may move, but it will still be there.

Ok so by 2050 the ocean rise compared to today is 1 foot. Much of the CURRENT US coast will be underwater. The US Navy has plans to move their main Atlantic bases. Coast and coast line, to me, are pretty much the same. It's like a distinction without a difference. Florida people and people in other states will have to move inland by 2050 if the US does NOT start producing less CO2 from factories and tailpipes.
