Sure, it must sound reasonable to them that the rate of sea level rise will jump 150-fold in a near future, from 30 cm per century to 50 m per century.
Also, along the way, the oceans will warm by 120 °C to something like 150 °C, and the water will become olive oil so that the Earth may be roasted.
Of course, to roast the Earth, the oily oceans will have to jump not only 50 meters but 8,8 kilometers - but with the fast progress in climate science, this is no longer a problem, either.
All of it sounds very sensible.
Children are also taught that 500 ppm of CO2 makes the planet uninhabitable for most species - half of your puppies, kittens, and pets die if you take them to your house where - the horror - the CO2 concentration is often 800 ppm or higher.
