Sea level could rise 5.5 feet in California

Sea levels along the California coast are expected to rise up to 1 foot in 20 years, 2 feet by 2050 and as much as 5 1/2 feet by the end of the century, climbing slightly more than the global average and increasing the risk of flooding and storm damage, a new study says.  http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-adv-sea-level-20120625,0,7840116.story
