Not debating if Global warming is real, 95% of the scientist think so, we can bury our heads and point to the other 5% and pray all the rest are idiots or we can accept that it is real and plan for the events as they unfold. Should only the coastal areas of the US see oceans rise a few feet, it would destroy real estate and the values. Trillions of wealth would be lost in property, trade, jobs, taxes, etc. Billions extra would be needed to support relocation. The insurance companies and banks with loans and mortgage companies would collapse. It will make us wish for the savings and loans problems of the 80s when we had the RTC. Point is, long before droughts or floods or months-long heat waves hit to cause problems, our financial centers will be gone and people will riot. How do we control civil problems like these?
