Hansen did. I dont remember you objecting back then.

5 meters by the end of the century - james Hansen

Hansen described his projection as an outlier, and highly non-linear, most of the rise occurring long after 25 years.

However, the fundamental issue is linearity versus non-linearity. Hansen (2005, 2007) argues that amplifying feedbacks make ice sheet disintegration necessarily highly non-linear. In a non-linear problem, the most relevant number for projecting sea level rise is the doubling time for the rate of mass loss. Hansen (2007) suggested that a 10-year doubling time was plausible, pointing out that such a doubling time from a base of 1 mm per year ice sheet contribution to sea level in the decade 2005-2015 would lead to a cumulative 5 m sea level rise by 2095.

I think the straw man photo shows a rise of more than c60mm ....

mind you. Hansen has backtracked as well.

He now reckons that armageddon will occur much later, due to 'climate inertia'

This is how the battle of ideas will be won, a little backtrack here, a little 'i was misquoted' there
a little obfuscation over yonder
till we will be left standing, wondering what all the fuss was ever about

Indeed. All you have to do is make a wide range of speculations predictions which simultaneously suggest something massive will happen which needs a lot of funding, while covering your arse in case it doesn't.

Who would have thought a bunch of floppy haired kids would grow up to take a leading role in the climate change debate.

Climate Change: Evidence

And apparently the moon-landings were faked as well.

No just the evidence for climate change.
