@demilembias2527 Because we allow it to, yes. We've let areas flood or dried areas based on the amount of land we wanted in the past. Last big one was us turning a sea into a lake and creating an entirely new province in the 1950s and now there is talk of perhaps building a big airport somewhere out at sea (unsure whether that will be done). And there is the Waddenzee, which is an area in the north that periodically totally floods. But if the climate change predictions are correct, pretty much all of our biggest city area (including Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and more) will turn into the lost city of Atlantis unless we seriously step up our water management game. There is only so much we can do against the sea, even if we are great at battling the flooding. Guess we'll go live in Germany or something

@demilembias2527 Not even humans are fucked. Life will just get seriously harder and some areas will be lost to the sea, but extinction is not going to happen. Climate change is absolutely terrible and will have huge impact, but this "world is going to end/we're going extinct" stuff is equally wrong as the denialism. The predictions are quite clear and it's nowhere near extinction.

Calling people a hindrance to the progress of humanity is very dangerous. Sounds too much like communists and fascists calling their victims a hindrance to the progress of their societies.

@bosstowndynamics5488 Climate change is not our biggest problem when our population decreases at a drastic rate because people get too few children. Decline is good, but it has to be relatively steady decline to avert demographic chaos.
