And another unhinged climate scare:
"we're all going to live underwater"
Well, no.
Today, 3m flooded/year
Even with worst-case sea level rise, max population, lowest GDP
Adaptation means just 1m flooded per year in 2100

Here is the graphic:
Of course, anyone can scare you and tell you "oh my god, sea level rise could flood 300 million people each year"
But any sane person knows that we'll adapt, and actually reduce flooding from 3m/yr to just 1m/year

And of course, we should reduce flooding (and all other challenges) by avoiding the poorest of worlds and achieve the richest of worlds (where flooding is close to zero)
The richest world, according to the UN climate modeling, is the fossil fuel driven one
