I was discussing this with Al Gore last week at the Tiki bar.. If the polor caps melt, as suggested..

Swizerland would be an island.
South America would be a island,
You could swim from Vermont to Bolder Co with out touching bottom,
Japan would be under water...


Probably not on Admiral Piri Reis' watch...
