I don't think the oceans are going to go up by a meter. I have very little confidence in the people trying to sell us this scenario for their own ends.

That aside, Bangladesh wouldn't do well with a one meter rise. Or a half meter rise. Or a major Indian Ocean tsunami. Or a really nasty typhoon. In fact, historically it hasn't done well at all anytime the weather has thrown it a curve.

This is a lot like the "low salt" discussion I've been having with Eri elsewhere. Because Bangladesh is unfortunate enough to be a swamp, therefore the rest of the planet has to submit to iron controls on our technological civilization by centralized authorities?

Besides if sea levels do rise (or fall) for whatever reason, I damn well want to meet the challenge with a thriving industrial civilization and a load of surplus wealth, not have to just drown like Third World nations do. Frankly we'd do better with a few degrees of warming than another Ice Age. We're overdue for the latter.
