Ocean levels have been rising since the last ice age began to subside. So? Move a little further inland. Earth has, on average, been hotter, with much higher sea levels than we have now. It is the greatest of narcissism to believe that just because the climate has been a certain way for a measly few centuries, that it will stay that way forever, or that we can do very much to effect it. The planet may be warming. We are still coming out of the last ice age, you know. It was far warmer with much higher sea levels during the Jurassic age. Life did quite well. There were no polar ice caps and no evidence of glaciation back then. That is the norm for planet Earth and we humans had better get on the ball and adapt or we’ll go the way of Allosaurus.
