Pretending they are in the same category is almost as dumb as living below sea level when you know the sea level is rising
The heat is moving at 35-miles per decade while plants and animals can only move at 4-miles per decade.
14,000 years ago,at the end of the last glaciation,sea-levels rose at 15-feet per century,for 400-years.
At the peak of glaciation,Earth was only 8-F colder,(51-F ave)
There's a 100-year lag-time between surface warming and ocean warming, due to the enormous thermal mass of the ocean water,but it's there lurking,with extra heating potential built in.
I agree that the 'experience' won't be like a major,sudden, cataclysmic event,but it won't be pretty.
