SF Chronicle: Ocean expected to rise 5 feet along coastlines

From SF Chronicle:

Driven by global warming, the ocean is expected to rise nearly 5 feet along California's coastline by the end of the century, hitting San Francisco Bay the hardest of all, according to a state study released Wednesday.  Nearly half a million people and $100 billion in property, two-thirds of it concentrated around the bay, are at risk of major flooding, researchers found in the most comprehensive study to date of how climate change will alter the state's coastal areas…  Some of the infrastructure at risk along the 1,000-mile- long shore of San Francisco Bay and the 1,200-mile-long California coast, according to a new study on the rising sea level: 

3,500 miles of roads and highways 

330 hazardous waste sites, including several in Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo and Los Angeles counties 

280 miles of railway 

140 schools 

34 police and fire stations 

30 coastal power plants 

29 sewage-treatment plants, including 22 on the bay and seven on the Pacific Coast 

2 Bay Area airports: San Francisco and Oakland international
