Even if we were able to reduce emissions of all kinds the sea level rise will continue. The time to do anything is long past. There are no stopp gap measures that will work since each little country would have to be in on those changes. Our best chance is adapt, move to a safer area and change the way we are living now.

This is bogus . we've always had flooding in these areas, even when I was one kid and delivering newspaper.I remember that we always had to get my mom to drive us because we had a vw bus !!!

Steve Olson that doesn’t mean climate change, and sea level rise don’t exist, and it’s getting worse
