My apologies for going off track, but your last statement reminds me of how "The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy" begins.
> So your solution is to simply do nothing.
I never said that. I said implementing extreme solutions like a 95% cut to everyone's carbon footprint are a terrible idea.
Also we are most likely talking about like a 0.5-2 ft rise maybe over the next 30 years. That is not exactly a "day after tomorrow" panic situation. The coastal real estate economy can deflate over 30 years.
We could do it the hard way. When ocean levels rise the coastal house market will collapse. Water will become scarce as aquifers get spoiled by salt. And climate patterns are certainly changing. Places that used to get an abundance of rain are already facing a drought. But some douchebag in a bro-dozer is certainly sticking it to the rich.
