Unless such a thing suddenly occurs overnight, people will probably gradually learn to build coastal property on dry ground, sometime during the next 86 years. --- Oh wait, they already know how to do that!

The thing that is really a shame is that all these science deniers are mostly on the twilight of the their life and won't see it happening meanwhile they find ways to deny the gradual change.

When I have asked this question the general answer seems to be denial.

because it would prove they have been lying for years. And it would force them to change their ways. Better to ruin the earth instead.

U.S. Sen. Whitehouse [D] RI made a statement that 'sports stadiums are at risk from rising sea levels' and 'because of a lack of snow, he would not be able to ski on the slopes of Rhode Island'.
I'm sure he has some kind of tax to impose on us to stop sports stadiums from being flooded.

Global cooling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Global cooling was a conjecture during the 1970s of imminent cooling of the Earth's surface and atmosphere culminating in a period of extensive glaciation. This hypothesis had little support in the scientific community, but gained temporary popular attention due to a combination of a slight downward trend of temperatures from the 1940s to the early 1970s and press reports that did not accurately reflect the full scope of the scientific climate literature, i.e., a larger and faster-growing body of literature projecting future warming due to greenhouse gas emissions. The current scientific opinion on climate change is that the Earth has not durably cooled, but undergone global warming throughout the 20th century.

Sea levels have risen by like 3 inches every century for the past 5 ones or so. Yeah, it's just soooo believable that sea levels are going to suddenly rise by up to 48 inches by 2100. That would mean that sea levels are rising by .4-.5 inches a year. Sea levels here in my town don't look any higher or lower than they did ten or fifteen years ago.
I live on Belle Island on the Venetian and have been here for 12 years. The sea level at high tides vis-a-vis the sea walls along Belle Island and those on the west side of South Beach seems higher to me in just twelve years. So, .5 inch a year? Yeah, that sounds about right to me.

He hasn't found anything he doesn't want to tax. I'd like to apologize to the rest fo the country for him. I'm sorry he's from my state. I'm sorry he's in office.

The climate change crowd would have more credibility if their scientists weren't constantly hiding data, misrepresenting data, and promoting a blatantly leftist agenda (we callt hem watermelons- green on the outside, red on the inside).

That being said, how about we just build dikes like they have in Holland? and divert the overflow into the sinkholes?
