Its not like you'll wake up one morning to find out that all of the coast lines are flooded. Rather it will take years for the oceans to rise. Even something as drastic as the increase in hurricane frequency and force is fairly avoidable. We cant stop hurricanes, but we can be smart enough to stop rebuilding if they become an frequent occurance. Its not going to be survival of the fittest. All it will be is the common sense to move on with your life and stay out of nature's way.

I think if I lived in very low lying areas like New Orleans or Venice I might be somewhat concerned about a small rise in the ocean levels but those areas are already in trouble. I assume the Netherlands can handle a small level increase.
