that's not a problem in the decade timeline but it is problematic over a century or two. it's especially problematic since it's accelerating and has a couple decades of inertia. the CO2 we release today will raise sea levels for the next 50 years or so.

So after roughly 100 years, we can look forward to the terrible catastrophe of sea levels (in some places only, not in others) rising by.. just over a foot. A problem for many really flat coastal areas, sure, but hardly the picture of global coastal flooding much of the alarmism has put forward. And if that one-foot rise happens across a full century, there will be many measures that can be taken to counter it even if the rise itself is unstoppable.
I'm not arguing against human-caused climate change, but some of the hyperbole i've seen said with deep certainty goes well beyond the scope of known evidence, realized events or even many scientific assessments.
With such things, it's not hard to see why some people find good reasons for being skeptical of yet another worst-case prediction.
