The Dutch constructed enormous flood control projects to shut the country off from the sea. The Afsluitdijk and the Delta Works reduced the country’s coastline from 1,400 to 450 km. The measures needed to maintain its flood control works to accommodate sea level rise by 2100 are estimated at a cost of over €1 billion per year.
Look at a map of Florida and tell me how you’re going to close its coastline off from the sea.
This is not some small European country. This is AMERICA the powerful, dammit! We will build a wall around Florida, and we’ll make the sea pay for it!!!
I don’t doubt you’re right, but 30 years? C’mon. You and I know that’s just fantasy.

But more seriously, point taken.
Looking at the map, what florida needs is a giant condom.
