Where is a map that shows the area of coastal (global warming) flooding?

Is there a master map out there?

On the upper right you can "control" the sea level rise. On the upper left you can choose maps from other parts of the world.

And a couple more maps from another site: http://www.clockwk.com/waterworld/index.html

What kills me is that they do not consider a) the effect of displaced people and b) the changes in the weather patterns and amount of fresh water and arable land.
