Indonesia is having to move it’s capital from Jakarta inland because it’s sinking 7 inches a year. Wonder how long it will be till Miami is in Missouri?
Not “climate change” as the poles are growing ice, not losing it. Grand solar minimum at work there. No, it is almost exclusively due to excessive use of groundwater that causes the land above it to sink and this leads to land subsidence, a phenomenon where rock and sediment pancake on top of each other. Third world populations are always the worst at exploiting their own ecology to their detriment.
Migration at first then it will be hysterical hordes of people fleeing dangerous areas for solace. Overrunning countries and places destroying them in the process.
Being serious. Has any thought been given to population control? In some countries children are orphaned, picking through trash to find food, dirty, unloved and yet more are being born. Populations soaring into the billions.

I know some mountain folk who have been preparing for the inland migration for years.
It will not be pretty.

We aren’t using as much newsprint as we used to. What’s next? Toilet paper?

There isn’t much arable land by the coasts, though decreased rainfall due to climate change may reduce it.

Humans will solve the climate crisis by creating an enormous orange flavored beverage. This is commonly known as the “big Tang theory”.
