Simon P asked:


If the sea levels DO rise and Miami, London, Tokyo etc are about to be permanently flooded.

So if Miami Beach is about to go underwater – would levees and dikes and sea walls actually protect Miami, Miami Beach and all the artificial islands – surely all the rich communities like Star Island where many rich celebrities live would not be allowed to be permanently flooded – surely the US Government or the State of Florida would have to do something to protect the area.

What could and will be done to protect South Florida – please dont say stuff like – they will move inland as I am almost certain they wouldn’t allow mansions of the rich and famous and the well known Miami Beach fall victim of the sea?
I have also heard from scientists that the majority of Antarctica CANNOT melt as it is in PERMAFROST – if you dont agree please explain
