I'm not a scientist but have a couple simple questions about climate change

I'm probably not going to read a lengthy scientific journal or some graphs or charts and discern from these if climate change is real and it's happening because of human activity. But these seem to be some really simple questions I can't ever get an honest answer from any of the climate zealots I talk to in my life...

1) There are buildings lined up all around the seaboard all over the world that have been there for hundreds of years. Let's use the statue of Liberty for example. If I look at an illustration of the SOL in 1886, when it was first open



The water looks right at the same level in 2022 as it did in 1886



Why is Lady Liberty not wading in water at this point if sea levels have risen? I had someone tell me sea levels will rise between 25-50 ft in the next 50 years. Yet they haven't risen at all apparently throughout the entire industrial revolution

2) Why does ocean front property continue to be the most valuable real estate in the world? And if sea levels were an issue, why wouldn't insurance companies and banks be making policies related to sea levels changing to protect themselves. We all know that no one covers their asses more than insurance companies and banks

3) Why do they keep changing the name to the climate crisis? Global cooling, greenhouse effect,, global warming, climate change, whatever they call it now.

4) Why do the very same people who have sounded the alarms on climate change, just so happen to benefit from it the most financially? Al Gore, Bill Gates, etc.

5) Why is nuclear power and natural gas never an option as alternative energy? When there is no carbon footprint? This would be the easiest solution if this was really an emergency

6) Why is China and India never discussed as a component to man made climate change? They are responsible for the vast majority of the world's carbon footprint. Yet I have never once heard a Democrat or someone in the MSM mention that as it being an issue. If we were staring down an Armageddon scenario, why wouldn't we be focusing most of our attention on them?

7) Why are all of their predictions wrong? When I visited Glacier National Park in 2008, they told me the glaciers would be gone in 10 years. There were signs up all over the park at every Glacier. Basically, "it's your last chance to see the glaciers, they will be gone in just a few years".. but juat a few years ago they quietly removed the signs, as the glaciers actually grew in size. And they had to admit their models predicting their melt failed, and that it would now be a later date. But unknown.
