>How much wiggle room is there in the conclusion that this is level of sea level rise is going to happen “regardless of twenty-first-century climate pathways”?

No wiggle room.

20,000 years ago we had the last glacial maximum aka ice age. Water levels increased 130 metres since. Your cities like "atlantis" were coastal cities gobbled up by rising water. Noah's ark was just this. When graphs are showing sea level rise over the last 200 years, they are illegtimately trying to imply the industrial age caused it. It has been a process that started 20,000 years ago. In fact, sea level rise hasn't changed at all during industrial age. Same rate nonstop.

So it's not really part of the 'excess carbon' problem but rather a natural process we cant stop.

Therefore you better not be a rich person living on the coast.

Global trend is higher population in cities. So the actual big scale problem is placing cities on shores, in historical flood zones, not minding historical records & ancestral wisdom, then blaming climate for own short-sightedness. Not changes in general but the inertia & radical fast-fixes with ability to create new problems never before existing.

Humanity can adapt to anything. But building non-durable way, consuming wastefully, getting away from nature & living in virtual "civilised" bubbles far from material reality is only asking for troubles when Earth & Sun reminds who truly rules here..
