What I find hilarious is all the people who say they are worried about sea level rise but they drive gas burners and live on the coast, even below sea level.
Well I guess you guys are just imitating your leadership. Gore buys a 9 million dollar beach front mansion, then Obama buys a 15 million dollar one a few years later.
So what is there to worry about?

What's even more ironic is the energy to build the stuff and power the pumps to live below sea level is all provided by fossil fuel power or on the back of fossil fuel power.

I lived on the east coast, about 500 feet from the water from early 2006 to late 2010. I learned by the end of 2006 that living on the coast is stupid. I always thought it was stupid then experience comfirmed it.
Every time there is a bad cyclone heading to the coast everyone buys everything at the stores, boards buildings up and runs away.
Buildings get wrecked then rebuilt every 10 to 20 year. Such a waste.
I wasted thousands of dollars per year on flood insurance to insure other people's stupidity.
