I will respond for the Denialist: Who Cares! We'll be dead and it will be problem for our children...and besides who believes science anyway.
I do care, but I really do not give a damn. my genetics suggest to my family that I will still be alive in 2050, and I want to tell all the liberals in 2050 that they were all chicken littles in 2050.
I think its funny that global warming believers think that coastal areas are going to stay the same forever... really... who thinks like that... their minds must be pretty empty...

i might make 2050. i would be 92 then, and i would also be a cantankerous old bastard at that
The sea has been rising since the end of the last ice age and as you can see over the last 150 years it's a steady and predictable rate.
Those graphs you posted look fairly flat up to 1880, that's when sea level began to increase more rapidly.
That graph on CO2 is pretty stunning,

Global temperature rise
All three major global surface temperature reconstructions show that Earth has warmed since 1880.5 Most of this warming has occurred since the 1970s, with the 20 warmest years having occurred since 1981 and with all 10 of the warmest years occurring in the past 12 years.6 Even though the 2000s witnessed a solar output decline resulting in an unusually deep solar minimum in 2007-2009, surface temperatures continue to increase.7

Yes some of the northern states can save on heating costs, unfortunately many will be under water.
The tides are a natural phenomena, the earths rotation is a natural phenomena, climate change is not a natural or predictable occurrence unless you have specific information as to why this "natural phenomena" occurs. Specifically, not just it happened once so I know it will happen again.
How is climate change not a natural phenomenon if it's been around for millions of years?
Cars certainly have not increased efficiency by 98% that's just a bull**** made up statistic. The only way that could be conceivably valid would be if you were comparing the least efficient car from 1970 to a 2014 Tesla
How is climate change not a natural phenomenon if it's been around for millions of years?
Past climate change was caused by forcings that do not contribute today. There are four natural climate forcings...Volcanoes, Ocean currents, Earth orbital changes, and Solar variations....None of these are causing warming, so that leaves the increasing greenhouse effect as the main driver of global warming.
Those graphs you posted look fairly flat up to 1880, that's when sea level began to increase more rapidly.
That's a stretch to say the least especially considering you have 120 years of the same rate of rise, again the sea has been rising since the end of the last ice age.
One other thing to understand here is this is not indicator of how fast the global sea is rising becsue it doesn't account for land movement hence the reason you can have graphs going down. Now what graph you look at you have a steady and predictable rate.
