Answer 1

Accept that lots of low lying coastal land will be lost. Where economically possible build dikes (like the Dutch) to protect coastal cities. Where human habitation can not be saved rebuild houses on higher ground.

Edited Comment in response to further details: The message from many people of New Orleans was that they wanted their city saved and protected. Provided they take advice to evacuate in the event of a severe storm they are safe enough for the present. I do feel that America ultimately will look after its own displaced people, it has after all accepted many millions of immigrants from Europe in the past. What is a much more difficult problem is the tens of millions from other parts of the world such as Bangladesh. But I am sure that there will be many arguing that it is akin to genocide not to help them with a problem largely generated by us here in western countries.

Answer 2

Already long island is in threat of severe flooding. Few human beings understand that the city pumps 14 million gallons of water out of the subways daily. Even at modern-day sea point a hurricane ought to theoretically create a 30 foot typhoon surge that could flood a hundred sq. miles in NYC; subways and all the less than-floor parts of the city are particularly in threat. different than upgrading pumps, the city has executed little to mitigate those hazards yet. One theory is to construct cellular typhoon surge barriers to guard the subways and decrease parts of the city. yet that's no longer reasonable perfect now, given the present political environment and financial situations. city voters does no longer help the 0.5 Billion money to create such defenses for something they don't be attentive to is a risk. regrettably, we nonetheless want to no longer placed money into protecting against unknown hazards. i ask your self regardless of if the persons of recent Orleans might agree that it could have been greater useful to speculate the $one million Billion money for a typhoon barrier and pumping advancements previously Katrina particularly than waiting previously, after incurring lots injury.
