Can you explain the mechanism by which billions of people will drown? Displaced perhaps, but drown? I'm fascinated. Are they incapable of, say, walking inland a little bit?

You expect billions of people to walk inland a little bit over the course of a mere 1,000 years?

Well, if only they would learn to swim we could extend that range to at least 1500 years.

Hopefully we've invented boats by then.
