And? Still doesn't change the problem. You can celebrate that it isn't from global warming as you drown where you live or you can actually address the actual issue.

Also, this doesn't mean global warming isn't happening, it just means this might not be the result of global warming, but still no less of a problem.

I think people will have time to react.
Maybe, but if no one plans on how to react, then the problem will just get gradually worse.

Address it how? There is NOTHING that can be done but move the **** out! How do you alarmists plan on tackling continental drift? Taxes? Huge piles locking the continents in place? How? How do you plan on keeping the climate the same when the land masses drift to other locations that don't support your desired climate? Put a glass dome over the earth and install some HVAC?

That is quite unAmerican of you. And you could be living where millions of Americans could try and migrate to when this happens. Then it will be your problem.

Whose fault is that?

If a person can't react or chooses not to react to rising water at the speed of melting ice... I mean at some point you just throw your hands up and say you get what you deserve.

Then I guess there is nothing for you to do but sit back and wait for it to happen.

That's all ANYONE can do. You can't stop nature. Egotistical academia nuts think they can, but they are crazy and shouldn't be listened to.

Well your location says you live by the Gulf, so you will be able to tell us how that goes for you first hand.
