I am not sure how much in good faith this author is, but honest discussion about mitigation of climate change needs to take place. A huge amount of sea level rise is locked in already; the uncertainty is about the rate of change not the inevitability of it. But straw-man arguments that costal communities are doomed because they are built below the coming high tide levels are not much help. Yes, there is a big and demonstrated possibility to mitigate this. An honest discussion of the costs and risks and tradeoffs is merited.
