Sure, relative to half the world starving, it's trivial.
Except, half the world is not starving (yet); Bagladesh is currently flooding.
But this demonstrates the undue importance people put on rising sea levels. Losing property isn't that bad, it's only money and things.
Actually, its uprooting the majority of the human population. Plus its the loss of some of the more productive farm land. This isn't a few people having to move; its the complete upheaval of most major cities, the concordant economy and farmland.
But if these things are fairly sure to happen, we'd better prepare for them, so had the Bangladeshis. Not spend all our effort in vain making token gestures to look like we're preventing them.
I agree, but people being people, I suspect nothing will happen until after the [censored] hits the fan.
