To the extent any of that is true, and to the extent it is a product of world carbon emissions, there is quite literally nothing to be done about it.

You are not going to get China and India to cut off their own economic noses. Not going to happen. And the output from the US isn't going to make any difference. Even carbon output has anything at all to do with it.

Get over it.

Sea levels are rising slowly (and have been for hundreds of years, or less steadily for about 12 to 15 thousand years).

To the extent some coastline winds up below sea level it often has more to do with erosion and subsidence than rising sea levels.

With sea levels rising slowly there is no need for any sudden movement of cities. The Zuiderzee Works and such have expanded land out in to areas that were already under sea level, not just defended current land from encroachment of the sea. Also new development can slowly move inland.
