> It seems to me that a more likely outcome is that people will build defenses to protect existing cities Honestly, this part right here is what makes me very skeptical about the magnitude of the problem as it’s communicated to the proles. We’ve heard countless times how Manhattan will essentially be underwater in XX years, a foregone conclusion, yet no one has made a serious proposal to build sea walls around it or other valuable coastal areas. That and the fact that the US is obsessed with importing countless numbers of foreign citizens who doubtless would produce far lower carbon footprints in their home countries than they would in the US. I mean it would only make sense to limit third world immigration to first world countries as long as possible if we’re concerned about carbon footprint, wouldn’t it? The population decrease in first world countries would be an added bonus as far as climate change goes. Yet we do the complete opposite. Curious!
