My trouble with the gloom and doom prophets of climate change is today science is already threatened enough (40% of Americans believe in a 6,000 year old earth) without a secular and pseudo science based apocalyptic fallacy, especially such an expensive one.
How can we persuade people to vaccinate themselves and their children, if scientists are preaching rising sea levels and warnings of mass extinction to people who really have not accepted the world is billions of years old yet?
It’s a matter of verification and trust, you know?
There are buildings in Venice Italy where the water line of sea level has been measured for over 600 years.

In fact, the results suggest a turning point in the change of absolute sea level for the mid fifteenth century, quite consistent with the literature: sea level must have dropped from a maximum elevation during the Mediaeval Warm Period, when absolute sea level was 12 to 21 cm higher than today, to a minimum around 1730, as a result of the Little Ice Age. Since the Little Ice Age global warming has led to an accelerated sea level rise, which is illustrated by the long-term data set for Venice.
Sea level rise reconstructed step by step. Submerged steps of water stairs of palaces on the Grand Canal provide an exceptionally long series of data on sea level rise.

The earth is vast and we are very small.
And the earth used to be a ball of molten rock, until it cooled.

Chemical signatures in 3.7-billion-year-old basalt rocks from Greenland support the long-held theory that Earth was once almost entirely molten. We know very little about what early Earth looked like – but one theory says that at several times it was almost entirely molten, a magma ocean.

When I was a kid holy roller preachers would come to town to fleece the gullible over predictions Christ was coming soon.
He hasn’t yet, but I’d think He’d be disappointed, you know?
