Isn't it possible that building cities near the coastline is, in the long view, a bad idea ?
Even without global warming or climate change or whatever, isn't it pretty dicey to put anything at 0-5 meters above sea level that is meant to last longer than a generation ?
Major population and infrastructure right on the ocean may be a hallmark of a fairly young civilization.
