Projections are for, very roughly, a 1-meter rise by 2100. What about by 2200 ?
Netherlands would be far more below-sea level than Central Thailand at 1-, 2-, 4-meters. How much will higher sea walls cost? Could something like Holland’s dykes be done along the Bight of Bangkok?
Ditto to the bolded: I’m in my late sixties, and childless; and live well-over 100 metres above sea level.
For the rest: I frivolously and whimsically cheer myself up with the “space opera” fiction of Lois McMaster Bujold – set about a thousand years in the future: humans have settled large numbers of planets all across the galaxy, but Earth is still there, highly-populated, and doing more or less OK. Rising sea levels on the planet have been, and are, a big problem – but with ingenious technology, people are coping.
One of the novels in the series has the protagonists Miles and Ivan spending – owing to circumstances – a brief stretch of time on Earth: in London, England; which city is still there and thriving, though enormous and elaborate works have had to be constructed to deal with the water-level situation. Our heroes wonder whether (in the event, they are up to their necks the whole time in alarming political skulduggery, and never get out of London) they might have an opportunity to see more of Earth: “Perhaps later…a chance to visit more historical sites, such as a submarine tour of Lake Los Angeles, or New York behind the great dikes”.
