Note: there is a debate if the sediment from the moutains will off-set sea-rise erosion.

If coping means some species(Perhaps major players in the eco-sphere) going extinct, then I'd say your statement is correct. Another possiblity is that 'coping'='S further spread of pests and ailment carriers......something history has shown could kill thousands.....
Surely, nothing to worry about, eh?

As to this two foot rise in sea level, any number of cities will able to deal with it......and some that simply won't be able to. Not all cities have access to the monies to produce such walls...that's why a million-person city in the U.S or England looks different then a million-person city in Bangladesh or Indonesia.

In any case; how many levees has Bangladesh raised in defense from those Cyclones that kill so many every few years? Any?

Former Republican Congressman Bob Inglis (who was ousted by the Tea Party) is, as far as I can tell, a true climate hawk. Some of the best speeches I’ve seen on climate change have come from him. Unfortunately, he’s essentially been kicked out of Republican national-level politics as a result of this. But he’s doing all he can to allow more conservatives the space and freedom to educate themselves about global warming and climate change and stimulate action from that side of the aisle. After all, everyone is screwed if we don’t have water to drink, our houses are getting burned down, extremely large megastorms are tearing up our cities, and new diseases are wreaking havoc on society.



In its pre-announcement phase, E&EI has already sponsored a lecture by Art Laffer, President Reagan’s economics advisor, at the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University; convened a panel at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business; and, dispatched Inglis to speak to College Republicans, Federalist Societies and other student groups at the University of Michigan, Notre Dame University, University of Chicago, Columbia University Law School, NYU Law School, Duke University, MIT, Georgetown University, and UCLA Law School, among others.

Inglis has just completed a four-state road show, speaking to American Legion Boys and Girls State delegations in Nevada, Oregon, Kentucky and North Carolina about leadership, energy and free enterprise.

Inglis was elected to the U.S. Congress in 1992, having never run for office before. He represented Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina, from 1993-1999, unsuccessfully challenged Democratic U.S. Senator Fritz Hollings in 1998, and won re-election to Congress in 2005, serving through 2010. His conservative record in Congress earned a 93 American Conservative Union rating, 100 percent with the Christian Coalition, 100 percent with National Right to Life, “A” with the National Rifle Association, and 0 percent with the Americans for Democratic Action.
