Time to invest in fire and flood restoration companies, dyke & flood gate builders, water pump makers of all sorts.. seems like a burgeoning industry that's going to really rake in a lot of cash in the decades ahead. Same same for Venetian style water taxi manufacturers and service providers. Port city condo dwellers all over the globe are going to need to navigate flooded streets to get to their homes.

That's hard data. I would not be investing in coastal real estate.

In short: It's very serious but not apocalyptic.
A sea level rise of about 60cm in the timespan of about 6 months is expected some day soon and probably inevitable.
