Aren't we looking at a 2.5 - 5 metre increase in sea levels? This is horrible enough but it's not going to half submerge a 93m statue of liberty... and if it did, the buildings in the background would be far more submerged as well. Some of these are real, some are not. It's a scary enough situation that keeping it honest would be beneficial. Right wingers are just going to take the fake ones and say "see, it's exageration and hype"... don't arm them with this!

I totally agree. Many of these are way over the top.

if 100% of all ice caps melted the water still wouldn't rich the top of the Statue of liberty pedistal, most of Manhattan would be above water, etc. This is hyperbole, the kind based in fear mongering that hurts more than it helps. Stay to realistic depictions

Those moles at Stonehenge would need strong teeth. The uprights have a lot below the ground which is chalk/limestone with only a thin layer of soil.
