1. I know this wouldn’t help with climate change, but it seems to me, they could save the town by building up the island like they do for man made islands

3. If they're so sure that climate change is a hoax and that their god is ultimately the one in control of everything, shouldn't we leave them to be flooded out? Otherwise aren't we standing in the way of them exercising their religious beliefs? This is their opportunity to show the true measure of their faith. Who are we to take that from them?

   Leave them to it. Don't mention climate change to them. Spend the money on managed retreat measures for those who would rather make a stand for rationalism.

17. The issue is not denying climate change, the issue is America sacrificing for the sake of the environment at the expense of their citizens while other big countries like China and India have absolutely no intention or any care to stop the carbon footprint upon the Earth. You cannot solve the problem unless all players are on board. Get that through your head. Go get China, India, Russia and all the other big emitters to get on board and good luck with it too because it ain’t happening, but in the meantime, Americans have to pay more for everything because the current government deliberately threw away our energy independence and is now having to depend on enemies and climate change culprits for the very energy we need to survive. Get the story straight.

24. Sea level rise is also creating new habitable land, as well as a larger ecosystem for sea life.
    The overall impact of global temperature increase is positive for humans as a whole, but there are going to be some losers.

30. Yeah, sure, climate change. The bogeyman of everything. There are islands in the Pacific that the 'green' lunatics said were disappearing due to "rising sea levels", which actually are getting BIGGER.
