It stated that, of their various future sea-level scenarios, the estimate of the upper limit a 1.1 metre rise by 2100 was actually not the worst case. That is, the $226 billion value of Australian roads, rail, commercial buildings and homes spread over the coastal zone that may be underwater regularly by 2100 could be an underestimate.
