That source absolutely does not claim that sea levels will rise 230 feet by 2100, or anything remotely close to that.
There’s plenty to be concerned about with climate change without making unfounded breathless claims.

The 230 feet sea level rise as a result of complete melt down of polar ice caps is from OTHER sources. I can certainly provide that as well:

https://sealevel.nasa.gov/understanding-sea-level/global-sea... (more than 160m)
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2020/oct/... (all ice caps melted by 2035)
These are not obscure pieces of data they aren't even close to unfounded they are in google and roughly the first search results. What I don't understand is the hostility here. Look up the facts yourself because you obviously didn't. It is illogical to be hostile towards something you didn't look up.
I'm sure there's contradictory evidence too, but you obviously didn't dig for that because you offered nothing to counter the evidence I presented.
For the sea level to rise 230’, all of the Antarctic ice would need to melt which will take hundreds or likely thousands of years. [1]
So no, there will not be 230’ of sea level rise in the next 75 years. That being said, the melt in Antarctica could raise sea levels by several feet by the end of the century, which would absolutely impact every coastal city on earth.
