The NOA predicts sea level rise of 2 feet by 2100. There might be small chunks of the Everglades on the Southern tip of Florida that are 2 feet or lower, but I believe the vast majority of the Everglades are 10 feet or higher. We probably won't see that in our lifetimes.
This isn't to downplay climate change or the risk of rising sea levels. These are very real, but I think that many people overestimate it. Even for Miami, which is very elevation, I don't think we will see it underwater... but we will see lots of flooding since the sewage systems won't be able to drain when the ocean level gets too close to the land. This already happens, but it will get worse.
