Exactly. If the sea levels rise ten meters overnight, that would be an enormous catastrophe with unfathomable loss of life.
If the sea levels rise ten meters over a couple decades, people will get the heck out when the water's at their ankles, instead of patiently waiting a few years until it's over their heads.
Or figure out a local civil engineering solution like diverting the water with levees and dams, that's at worst a local disaster if it doesn't work out.
- talmand 13y agoYou are quite wrong good sir, or madam, as someone else in this thread explained that millions will drown with a drastic change in sea levels over 1000 years. Actually, I'm assuming they were greatly exaggerating which seems to be commonplace in these types of discussions so I decided to poke a little fun at that one. Something about learning to swim and inventing something called a boat.
