King Canute showed there's nothing the politicians can do to prevent that. en.wikipedia.org Many of those low-lying Alaska villages are being progressively undermined by coastal erosion.

Snow....I'm really trying to understand the mindset that says someone else has to move everything. You and I know that if we (and the families before us) had been nomads until 150 years ago (about 6 generations) and then settled down, and then the realization came that "oh my gosh - this is why we didn't live on the coastline for years before this".... SO NOW, the Government and the other citizens have to move us and our cities, and infrastructure, every time we decide to move. Don't you think that after 150 years, people have had ample time to decide if they want to be a nomad or not....and to be responsible for their own decision.....Other humans shouldn't always have to carry the brunt for others. The Eskimos (per Peter Freukin) were the original and only true Communistic society. All for one, and one for all. Their decision for centuries was to move and be nomads.
