So the sea level has been rising, will continue to rise and any attempts to stop it are atupid. All the people who live at or below sea level are also stupid. There's only one possible logical outcome to this situation. Why tempt fate?

The interglacial which marked the end of the last ice age is dated a bit further back than 10,000-years if memory serves me.
We entered the Holocene, characterized by extremely stable climate, until Europe burned its forests down, went into a timber crisis, and was forced to turn to coal, and extracting wood from the New World.
We've set plus-220-feet of sea level rise into motion.
We may see it in 5-foot pulses, as the threshold systems disintegrate, as is predicted with Thwaites in 5-years.
