Personally, I am grateful for any news that alerts anyone who will pay attention to the fact that sea levels have been rising since the end on the last ice age and that the rate seems to be accelerating.  Especially that last part.  Perhaps it also should be pointed out that our current economic policies will make it less and less likely that those who build near low lying coasts will be bailed out when the inevitable occurs. That might at least warn the buyers.  The developers are beyond hope, as long as they can get their properties sold well before disaster strikes.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
