Despite what “some experts say,” the IPCC (you know, the actual scientists) says sea level rise in the worst case scenario will be 10-23 inches. In other words, according to real scientists, two feet is more like the maximum, not the minimum, amount of sea level rise we can expect by 2100.

I think they are misleading us a bit. I just checked out my home area: New Haven, CT. They seem to be assuming that non-estuarial streams, rivers, and stream-fed lakes all rise, too. I suspect that they are not connected to ocean levels.
