Just a wild thought, everybody is talking about climax changes bla bla bla...anybody have a more constructive thoughts of easing the really problems ahead....
Living a simplier life would help though, less papers, less co2, less wasting our earth resources would helps but something, thinking out of the box might be a fun thing to do...you never know....need more experts' view on this.

So what shall we do with the rising sea level which seems inevitable now?

As a young geologist, I believe the best thing to do is to let these events, such as these climatic changes, earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, happen. Anthropogenic structures, such as dams and dikes, are only temporary. No one can practically control the planet, when no one can even totally understand it. Earth has this weird ability to equilibriate things and everything would fall into place again.

Ocean temperature is one of the major factors that controls the climate, the long-term atmospheric conditon over an area. Simply put, warmer saline (saturated with solutes, not necessarily salts) waters in the equator rises and flows towards the colder polar regions, and the cool less saline waters in the poles sink and flow towards the equatorial regions. With these events, temperature is distributed in the planet. Physical barriers (i.e. landmasses) and the Coriolis effect also cause the uneven distribution of ice, sediments and other stuff. Hope that helps, although I can not say I'm an expert.

On the contrary, it will make things a lot worse. Cold water on both poles is needed to keep the sea water currents as they are. Any changes in these currents will cause a catastrophic climate change.

The poles are not excessively wet. They are actually very dry, with very low annual snow fall. It is just that they are so cold that the show has built up over time. If Antarctica were warm, so that all the snow melted every summer, it would be a desert.

yeah there's plenty of water on the earth just not spread equally. Probably be cost prohibitive to ship water to Sahara and who knows what the effect would be of dry poles?
