Thanks. Either way, it seems much simpler to do something similar to what Holland has done than to move millions of people (hundreds of millions if we're talking about the entire world) inland.

Broadly I agree, but I think that is location specific: can you imagine doing that over the whole east coast? Is the beach\seabed stable enough? What about rivers going out, can we cope with them? Will anyone want to live in Miami if there's no beach? Will we need Mexico\Canada to do their sections to match? I think smaller local mixed solutions are more likely given the scale and the US approach to government...

I live in Holland so I'm a bit worried about what is going to happen to this place which was already below sea level, despite having the world's best water engineers, a functional cooperative society, and no shortage of capital.
