I don’t think anyone here is advocating for freaking out about it, and I do not see any suggestion we should that you’re replying to.

Also, it’s pretty clear from the IPCC report that holding the environment stable isn’t an option. At this point about 0.5m minimum sea level rise this century is probably locked in. However a 1m rise might not be.

So yes, the issue is that either way policy planning needs to be considered in the long term.
