re: No matter what about (man influenced) climate change, those claiming it are always right.

The goal is to go as long as possible without melting so much land ice that coastal cities are uninhabitable. We can do that by minimizing our changes to the environment.

Try not to turn a 10,000 year natural process into a 300 year one.

Historically, sea levels have been both lower and higher in the past than at present. Since the end of the last ice age, the average level has risen about 120 meters (400 feet), as depicted in the following figure. After it reached a peak in at least some regions about 6,000 years ago, however, the sea level has changed relatively little, even when industrialization began boosting atmospheric CO2. Over the 20th century, the worldwide average rise was about 15-18 cm (6-7 inches).
