Here's a (the?) source for 3' that Bloomberg omitted https://www.coast.noaa.gov/states/stories/data-models-sea-le...

Misreading the link - as many newspapers have done, and it's wrong absent further data - results in 6'

EDIT: As noted by Accipitriform I made the same mistake I pinned on many newspapers.

Actually that link makes no prediction at all about how much sea levels will rise. It merely looks at the impact if the sea level were to rise by the given amounts.
