You are overestimating the effects of climate change.

Sea levels will rise by a meter over the next hundred years. That's really not very much in the scheme of things.

Have a read of these:

I'm going to say you're underestimating the affects of climate change if you think a one meter rise in sea level globally isn't a big deal. Not to mention a selfish point of view, considering some peoples homes are already being inundated and the catastrophic effects it will have on coral reef systems.
