10. .. by the end of the century, perhaps 5-to-10 feet higher. We need to wake up to a new reality about sea level because sea level determines the shoreline… We need to start now re-designing harbors for the future… Adaptation to higher sea levels is the future.”

11. Please. What makes an expert on sea level rise an expert in the 'policy response' to civilisational collapse? Why not ask someone who actually knows ... like an expert in civilisational collapse?!

12. All technical 'experts' make the unbelievably stupid assumption that what happens in their tiny little expert specialism will be the only thing that changes. Sea level rise goes up but everything else just carries on as normal - what a joke.

13. Nope! Sea level rise goes along with a billion plus climate refugees, the collapse of reliable food production, leading to hundreds of millions of raped, slaughtered and starved people (what do you think 1 billion refugees is gonna look like?) -

16. LET'S MAKE ONE THING CRYSTAL CLEAR: THERE IS NO 'ADAPTION' TO COLLAPSE.

17. So let take a little look at the 'real issue'.

18. - we go over 1.5 in 2024 (predicted by that mad maverick James Edward Hansen), and just for good measure the collapse of the global coastal property bubble at some point in the next five years (more 'private' predictions) - that's just for starters.
