I understand where you're coming from.
I think that the most immediate risks associated with climate change is not sea level rise, but it's extreme weather. We're seeing this in spades already.
It intuitively makes sense at some level: adding more energy to a somewhat chaotic/somewhat stable system (weather over the past 1000 years) will increase the chaos and lessen the stability.
To me, this article about heat moving toward Greenland is less of a cause/risk and more of a symptom. The fucked up jetstreams, caused by a relatively small global increase in temperature, is allowing this heat to move somewhere it would almost never be able to move previously.
