    Fortunately it will take more than 6 years for coastal cities to start flooding that much. By the end of the century it is forecasted to go up by less than 2 meter worst case. In 2000 years it could rise as much as 20 years if the temperatures rise 5°C.

    Additionally it is much easier to just move to higher ground.

      Yeah, because rebuilding most of the world’s major cities all at once is no big deal at all.
