We as society will never go back on consumerism, especially the ones wanting to support efforts to prevent climate change, unfortunately. Humans are part of nature and the way we change the climate is also nature so we will always figure out a way to live with the new earth we have.

So we are just relocating 100s of million people and abandon all cities in the coastlines? How does the cost of this compare to the cost of trying to solve climate change?

The coast lines are the least of the problem.
