Ok- but- if the cities are underwater, you think the people living there are just going to stay there and drown? It’s not like the water is likely to all flood in over night. It’ll be a process they’ll see coming.
So what do you think will happen? It wasn’t that long ago that many “red” areas saw an influx of coastal transplants and didn’t much like it. Many places have considered or begun passing laws to counteract the cultural and political shifts of these moves.
You have to put it in words the red caps can understand. Like this: Global warming will turn your favorite deer lease into a solar / wind farm and wildlife preserve which will prohibit hunting! Hippies will abandon coastal cities as sea level rise sends them to your small, rural town to open decaf, specialty, $9 a cup coffee shops that sell gluten free, pot bagels! Higher daily temperatures are making women's average breasts shrink by a cup size every decade! Hotter fall days may mean high-school football will have shorter season if games are allowed to be played at all! Beef will get naturally leaner as cows lose fat from hotter summers in the South.
...and my best: internet porn addicts suffer as entire industry switches to 100% Pay-to-preview in bid to finance anti-global warming efforts.
