Flooding of our coastlines is already well underway, so why are we still building near the coastline and replacing homes that have been flooded 20 times. Mostly impacting the Gulf and East Coast for now but it will get worse. Regardless if you believe in AGW this is occurring in the short term and our insurance programs and rewards for building near the coast have not changed significantly.
Time to retreat.

NORFOLK, Va. — Huge vertical rulers are sprouting beside low spots in the streets here, so people can judge if the tidal floods that increasingly inundate their roads are too deep to drive through.
Five hundred miles down the Atlantic Coast, the only road to Tybee Island, Ga., is disappearing beneath the sea several times a year, cutting the town off from the mainland.
And another 500 miles on, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., increased tidal flooding is forcing the city to spend millions fixing battered roads and drains — and, at times, to send out giant vacuum trucks to suck saltwater off the streets.
For decades, as the global warming created by human emissions caused land ice to melt and ocean water to expand, scientists warned that the accelerating rise of the sea would eventually imperil the United States’ coastline.
the investors who have made a killing off regs and taxes to prevent human caused global warming are cashing in bigtime with homes along the coast. No need for insurance, just rebuild if a storm knocks it down.

Well if they have a mortgage they are required to have flood insurance but that is not always the case. Taxpayer sponsorship of high risk homes is coming to an end.

MIAMI — Imagine moving into your new Florida vacation home only to find a $24,300 flood insurance bill in your mailbox.
Welcome to the world of George and Karen McLaughlin, Maryland baby boomers who decided to follow other “snowbirds” south for the winter. They bought their piece of paradise on one of the many channels in New Port Richey, but recent flood insurance changes now frighten the McLaughlins more than the ever-present threat of a flood.

The coastal areas will continue to grow as we continue to expand our population via immigration.
It's funny how the environmental left won't address all the environmental issues caused by increasing population. We would be close to stable in the US if we halted the majority of immigration. I guess politics trump the enivornment for them.

Look at it this way: greedy hateful wealthy people squander vast sums of money on coastal houses that get destroyed regularly i.e. transferring that money to the working poor who build and maintain said houses. Balance is found. Justice is done. The earth keeps spinning and tree huggers are kept busy complaining. All is right on the big blue marble.
Note to self, buy future ocean front property in Arizona.
