In the next few decades, sea level rise will being changing geopolitics and strategy.
1. Sea level has already started, although very slightly. This rise will accelerate, and then accelerate more. Later this century, it may be rising by several inches per year. After 2100, the annual rise will be be even greater.
2. Moving our cities and populations from the coasts will be a challenge for many countries. I suspect that many will have difficulty affording it.
3. Meanwhile, global food production will begin to plummet, I think. If so, that will cause famine, death, and forced migrations. How will governments react? With compassion? Or, with bullets???
4. Will countries go to war to seize land as their land shrinks by submersion into the sea?
5. Meanwhile, heat waves will begin to make the tropics uninhabitable (see Paul Beckwith's videos). What will happen to those nations? What will they do? Will there be wars??
