If global warming is true, which I don't think so. When most of the glaciers melt and populations are displaced, you think they would have the technology to transfer the displaced water into outerspace so land mass would stay constant. Sounds expensive, but possible.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to build cities under the sea?

Most of the ice on the earth is supported by water already, and only some of it is above land. If you drop ice in a glass and fill it up to the brim with water then leave it alone, the ice will melt but the water level will not run over the edge of the glass. This is because the weight of the ice displaces an equal weight of water. Since the vast majority of the ice is suspended by water in the ocean already, the level of the ocean will NOT raise if it melts. You may get some change in the level if the ice over land melts, but the amount over land is not a huge amount, so thats not a significant concern. Don't fall for the THEORY of "global warming" just use your own common sense.

Firstly, if global warming was so far advanced that whole cities are displaced the climatic changes would be so extreme that it would be hard for life to survive. After we had used all our fuel to cool our cities, used up all available plant life (as most plant life needs fairly constant climate), followed by all meat products (as cows, pigs etc live off plants), and our economy collapses from huge lack of resources we might be better off to grow gills and eat kelp.

They've transferred so many things into outerspace; why wouldn't they be able to transfer water, too? So, it is possible.
However, is it wise and cost-effective for the purpose you are speaking though?

No.I don't think it's possible. Just how far in space are you?
Because you know evaporation prcipitation all that and "water"
already comes from space....
