Below sea residences are indeed known things, and soon many places in Florida will be below sea level if the oceans rise much more. The problem with climate change is that it can happen at an accelerated rate. We know from the ice records that some climate changes in the past (not caused by humans) happened with amazing speed. It doesn't matter what is causing this one, imo, the real point is preparing for it. Florida should not be allowed to become a state wide Katrina. We should be acting now to protect (or evacuate - which is unlikely) the lands that are most in danger of sea flooding. I think we should be acting much more aggressively to try to minimize our human impact on global warming, but since we don't totally understand global warming I'd say that is a much more iffy proposition (though a lot less iffy than invading a country like Iraq). If we're going to be wasting money on something, it would be nice if it was spent warding off a real enemy- and flooding is going to be a real enemy to us in the US, especially with increased storm activity.
