you seem to vastly underestimate how impossible "moving somewhere away from the shore" would be for the majority of the world's population.

For instance, my country would be over 50% flooded with a 2 meter searise.

also, countries like bangladesh are truely screwed, and it has a population of 150 million people!

not to mention that climate change would make our global economy collapse and high yield argriculture impossible.

Bangladesh's problem isn't that it's so close to sea level it's that it's poor. California's problem isn't that droughts make forest fires it's that they're aren't quite so rich that they can live in the middle of a tinderbox.

An entire country being wiped out from sea level rise is a problem that is pretty specific to Bangladesh. It only takes 9m of sea level rise to flood more than 70% of Bangladesh.
