The article tries to link erosion to climate change. LOL. And the predictions they make now extend past the point where anybody reading them today would be alive to rightly ridicule them when they don't come to pass. (2100)
The article conflates erosion with sea-level rise as equal threats to coastal land, but erosion is by far a bigger natural problem and there are actions that can be taken to mitigate it. There are still plenty of people who want waterfront land to include President Netflix, who is more of a "do as I say, not as I do" guy.
The OP's source said "by the end of the century....".
The fact that even the short term weather prediction models have proven inaccurate, how can we predict what the weather is going to do in the next 80 years?
A recent friend of mine living in the Florida Keys told me it was getting harder to sell coastal property there. Apparently this is being confirmed by Bloomberg. People are having second thoughts moving to Low lying areas given rising sea levels, temperatures and storm strength. I wonder why.
I've explained that in detail on 50 different threads.
It's not going to be a mass exodus. It will be a trickle so slow no one will even notice.

Why do I care?
I don't own real estate in the US and don't give a damn if people can live on beach front property or not.

This is just the beginning.
Like a typical denier, you can't stomach real science:
Palaeo data suggest that Greenland must have been largely ice free during Marine Isotope Stage 11 (MIS-11). The globally averaged MIS-11 sea level is estimated to have reached between 6–13 m above that of today.
“Even though the warm Eemian period was a period when the oceans were four to eight meters higher than today, the ice sheet in northwest Greenland was only a few hundred meters lower than the current level, which indicates that the contribution from the Greenland ice sheet was less than half the total sea-level rise during that period,†says Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, and leader of the NEEM-project.
I was speaking of the Floridians who are deniers. I am a Floridian, I am not a denier. It is beyond comprehension how or even why a Floridian would deny anthropogenic climate change given all they have to lose.
Are deniers saying sea level is actually going down, not up, across the Florida Keys?

Obama bought a mansion on Martha's Vineyard. Al Gore bought a beach front mansion in California. They seem to be denying the science they're telling others is real.
I can't get over the idiocy of the Florida denier. They have the most to lose, especially as the effects of climate change will affect them the earliest.
Florida Deniers: Blinded by a bankrupt ideology called anti-science conservatism.
Al Gore said that the polar ice caps would melt and cause Florida to be underwater by 2013.
