I read that as California PREDICTING rising seas. Not any catastrophe from actual rising seas:

.... "It's at least partially — I would argue, largely — a man-made problem," says Bob Battalio, a coastal engineer at the consulting firm ESA PWA who is working on the Master Plan. He says the Great Highway isn’t just a casualty here; it’s part of the problem.

It opened in 1929 to much fanfare. But it wasn’t exactly built on Terra Firma: the city flattened coastal sand dunes and pushed the shoreline about 200 feet out into the ocean.
.....

Seems the "catastrophe" was designed in when Californians decided to build a highway on sand dunes and push the shoreline out into the ocean.
