Rising Seas Likely to Flood U.S. History - New York Times

If these projections are correct, we'd better spend our billions to protect vital infrastructure, encourage people at risk to move inland and make shore front properties at risk so costly to own, that people will choose to move their businesses/residences. Frittering away money to 'prevent' climate change seems a far lower priority than dealing with the inevitable, assuming it is inevitable.

Realistically, though, Americans are unable to act resolutely unless a crisis is imminent. Asking our government to curtail spending and establishing a 'Flood Fund for the Future' by taxing those whose properties are at risk is equally improbable, I suppose.
