" around 10 metres of irreversible sea-level rise. Reducing emissions could slow this process, allowing more time for low-lying populations to move."

This seems like hyperbole to me. I'll be glad to buy Hawaiin real estate (at an appropriate discount, of course) to show my sincerity.

Any sellers?

Seriously, articles of this kind are so over the top that they cause mental fatigue for the issue and de-emphasize climate change.

President Obama seems to agree with you, as he recently bought a mansion on the beach in Martha’s Vineyard.

It’s hard to take climate alarmism seriously when its proponents are taking actions like that.

Barack Obama is a boring, middle of the road, centrist as hell politician.

He is as much a “proponent” of climate change as, say, Angela Merkel. Which is to say, not all that much. He cares a little bit but not that much.

Also, he’s rich and for rich people the risk of sea level rise is dramatically lower because they can fight for their little corner either through technological means or they can just move away and it’s not an existential threat to them, no matter what they do.
