All you have to do is rip out billions of dollars worth of buildings
and plant mangroves.

The rate of increase is trivial ass hole.

Can an ass hole refrain from cut and pasting off topic, arm waving
speculation and FUD to a physics group ass hole?

Interestingly, restoring the wolf population 
stopped erosion by keeping the deer
from overgrazing river shorelines in
Montana. Those rivers weren't rising-
they were just being rivers

wrong, 1/2 mm using fudged data on french coastline only.
Mangrove this!
