Re: Oddly enough, our man also says 60 meters rise --
"When "long term" is measured in a thousand (or even several hundreds) of years, it is perfectly reasonable to ignore it."
No, it is certainly not reasonable to ignore it considering that global climate change will trigger some irreversible changes and that sea rise is one of consequences, the others being increase in extreme weather events, mass extinctions, etc. That will cost us significantly more than if we take action and reduce green house gas emissions while it is still economically viable. We can be ignorant, plug our ears and sing "La, la, la, la...", but at the end the price to pay will be much higher and what is worse, we will tax our children to do that for us. Very irresponsible!
