Did Al Gore's documentary accurately predict that New York City would go underwater?

Al Gore's documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth' featured a simulation showing potential flooding to the World Trade Center site, but this was based on a specific scenario where the Greenland ice sheet broke apart - something that hasn't happened. According to Ginger Zee's analysis, while not everything Gore predicted was perfect, the documentary did contain substantial scientific backing. The simulation was presenting a hypothetical extreme scenario rather than a definite prediction. This demonstrates how climate change communications often balance between presenting concerning possibilities while maintaining scientific accuracy. The core climate science in Gore's film remains valid even if some specific visualizations represented worst-case scenarios.
