I think of it like a volcano eruption. I'm not going to be able to stop it, and no amount of political campaigning will change anything. Just get out of the way. Experts have mapped which places will be underwater, e.g. https://www.therakyatpost.com/living/2019/11/06/9-msian-cities-will-be-underwater-by-2050-due-to-rising-sea-levels/ https://www.therakyatpost.com/living/2019/11/06/9-msian-citi... This was semi-confirmed by recent floods. People would say "City X never flooded, it was a drainage issue." But the floods were drawn along these lines, and you can't drain the ocean in the long term. The 2050 maps are decent to plan around. Even if we slow climate change and turn it around, it might be the state of things in 2075.

> I think of it like a volcano eruption. I'm not going to be able to stop it, and no amount of political campaigning will change anything. Just get out of the way. I can identify with this. In my country a good percentage of people deny it’s happening. And the industries that contribute heavily to the problem don’t show any signs of slowing let alone stopping. It feels inevitable and all I can do is use my autonomy to seek high ground with a robust water supply.
