I am about 35 miles inland and about 1400 feet elevation on the coast of California.
Someone mentioned to day that it was 80 degrees in the arctic. I assume there will be a surge globally.
We know that the oceans are rising around the world, cities built on the water are being devastated, uninhabitable.
Shipping is going to be disrupted as well.
Is any one taking action or are we all waiting for the last minute?
People will be forced to move, property values inland are likely to inflate.
Any one else thought about this?

Unless people take action asap which I think will not happen, the coastal cities are doomed. Before my time is over, I am planning on disposing my real estate close to the coasts and buying something inland to leave for my kid. I am betting on Atlanta for the time being.
Some years ago I sold my ocean view home in Florida; not because of rising tides though. However, at that time, several people said that I was smart to get out when I did because Florida will be in trouble soon.
Years ago when I lived on Long Island and hurricanes would wipe out the mansions on stilts on Fire Island, the uber rich just rebuilt, and corp of engineers would haul in sand for them for a barrier. And they probably got cheap flood insurance from the government too (I did in Florida).
I don't think the population is going to do anything sensible about rising tides.

A couple of questions. Where I used to dock my boat at the New Jersey shore, the water level hasn't changed in 60 years. Have you informed Al Gore of your findings? He seems to have purchased an oceanfront mansion in California. Perhaps he should have consulted you first.

OP, Used to think about this for the "Big One" on the Oregon Coastal community. But not much else because even with an Ocean view, the family "beach" house (now sister's) is her responsibility. That house is "beach" in a loose sense because it does sit on a sand hill, 1km from the ocean. I've never seen this community water surrounded (close but no cigar) in a trifecta of river runoff, king tides, and strong westerly winds.
However, another 1 foot rise in ocean rise, may put this Oregon community in jeopardy in a storm and king tides. FEMA maps got revised politically when they updated the maps.

How long are you going to wait to move, while the oceans rise?
