Sea level rise isn't a problem because the amount projected is tiny, in contrast to the rhetoric. Less than a meter by the end of the century, about half the difference between high tide and low. Land doesn't have to be fungible for decreasing available land by about twenty thousand square km and increasing available land by about ten million (https://daviddfriedman.substack.com/p/land-gained-and-lost)to https://daviddfriedman.substack.com/p/land-gained-and-lost)t... be a net gain. What is your reason to expect warming to increase temperature related mortality? Are you assuming that it makes hot times and places hotter and cold colder? That is inconsistent with the IPCC projections, which show both minimal and maximal temperatures rising. It's true that adjusting to changed circumstances costs something but warming so far has been about a tenth of a degree a decade, may be rising to two tenths, pretty slow change compared to all the other changes people are adjusting to. That aside, why do you think the temperature of a century ago was optimal? It wasn't designed for us, we weren't designed for it, and it varied much more over parts of the world where people lived successfully than it is going to change in the next century.
