Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to buy some pontoons for the planes?
Hmmmn.
LAX runways and tower are 125 feet above the sea level. And about 3000 feet back from the beach.
Hard to see what impact a 4 foot rise would have ... and that “potential” sea level rise “might” occur in 400 to 900 years. IF the West Antarctic Ice shelf melts at all! Last year in October, the sea ice surrounding that West Antarctic ice shelf set an all-time record high! (Just the “excess” antarctic sea ice on May8 was 97% the size of Greenland!)
Seem reasonable to me just to have Sacramento give everyone money to relocate, then open the entirety of California to the kind of American who is willing to settle, work, build, propagate and prosper, risks and hazards and rising seas be damned.*
It happened once before and would be lovely to see again.
*p.s. Oh and kick the damned illegals the hell out why we are at it.

If this is going to happen in California just think about Hawaii. Wonder if they’ve told the people there that they are going to be underwater soon. But they need to make sure they don’t evacuate to Guam because with the addition of all those folks it will be sure to tip over.
OTOH, with BO moving back to Hawaii maybe they don’t have anything to worry about because we all know he can make the water recede.
