I almost bothered to add the rider: "...unless they choose to live in a
city below sea level with inadequate defences" but I thought it sort of
went without saying...it's hardly a problem of sea level rise - the land
was subsiding far faster, and the levees were not maintained. One could
argue in a no less specious way that if sea level had been rising even
faster, they would probably have paid more attention to the risk, and
thus reduced it overall.
