I suppose at some time in the distant future, the Florida peninsula
will be completely underwater.
It has already happened at least four times and will likely happen
again. I am not the least bit
concerned about what happens ten thousand years from now. The
present is what concerns me.
**10,000 years may not concern you, but how about 30?

Even if we accept their claims... 10 feet... unless you own beach
front property you won't be affected.. and those just behind them will
become beach front property.
I fail to see the existential crisis here.
