It tells me that for my farm the critical point of sea level rise (all other factors being ignored) will be between 30 and 40 meters. At 30 meters, the coast will be a lot closer than it is now. At 40 meters rise, the ridge my farm is on becomes either a peninsula or an offshore island - there is a narrow area between two river valleys that could wash out enough to cut us off from the mainland.

That is also the critical point for my parent's house in peninsular Florida - at 30 meters, their town would still be attached to the mainland but at 40 they'd be living on a big island surrounded by shallow seas, sort of like the Bahamas.
