The Times Colonist (December 7, 2006) noted that maps created by the Sierra Club placed much of the city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, under water.

"Sierra Club B.C. executive director Kathryn Molloy said the six-metre rise is a 'best-case scenario' that can be averted only if steps are taken right away.
'It will happen in the lifetime of my grandchildren unless we take action immediately to slash global carbon emissions.'
Doing nothing could mean the ocean comes up much, much higher, Molloy said.
'If we continue with "business as usual," and keep pumping carbon into the atmosphere at the current global rate, scientists warn us that we will face a potential 25-metre sea-level rise.'
Victoria Mayor Alan Lowe said a six-metre jump in sea level would submerge about nine per cent of his municipality, while the 25-metre increase would put an estimated 74 per cent of the city under water. All of Sidney, 78 per cent of Esquimalt and 65 per cent of Oak Bay would also disappear should the latter case come true, according to Sierra Club B.C. projections.
Lowe called the map of the flooding 'quite shocking.'"
