Fair enough, I checked it was 60 meters, not 100m [1] However I do not buy "stable for a very long time wrt human history". There was little ice age in 17th century. 11th century had very warm and fertile weather in Scandinavia, population boom and Vikings... We can go into Egyptian history and droughts that lasted centuries... Entire Sahara was garden in living memory, when pyramids were build... > take action to mitigate I guess I should buy Tesla then? Do you own any stock btw? Perhaps slight conflict of interest? We will have to drastically reduce our life standards. Not to "take action" but to live within our means! For US that means no more 4000 pound cars, but small electric bikes! [1] https://www.e-education.psu.edu/earth107/node/1506 https://www.e-education.psu.edu/earth107/node/1506

The link you provided doesn't support your claim of any particuly substantial change in global sea levels within the past 10,000 years. The hodge podge collection of minor localised climate cell changes had little impact on the general stability of global climate parameters during the past 10,000 years. (You're rather overstating the chill spell in Europe for example). Do you think that buying a Telsa will solve the pressing climate issues? I don't follow your reasoning there. > We will have to drastically reduce our life standards. Not to "take action" but to live within our means! I'm not in the US and I suspect I may very well live with a lower carbon impact than most in G20 countries.
