I found some modeling that had projections of 15 feet with pictures. Those doom and gloom projections are all over the place. Not sure but I think the National Geographic has printed a lot of them with projections of sea level rise to the extreme.
From NAT GEO.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says we can expect the oceans to rise between 11 and 38 inches (28 to 98 centimeters) by 2100, enough to swamp many of the cities along the U.S. East Coast. More dire estimates, including a complete meltdown of the Greenland ice sheet, place sea level rise to 23 feet (7 meters), enough to submerge London.
There is a mention of up to 23 feet!
