better adapt to the sea rise that will flood our house.
From a quick search, projected sea level rise is around 2 feet by 2100. If you're two feet from flooding, you're almost certainly experiencing flooding already, due to the occasional bad storm.
But occasional flooding is not the same as constantly flooded. Also, 2ft rise means occasional flooding expanding inland and flood-safe zones shrinking.
No offense, but I'm having trouble believing you've experienced coastal life. 2ft will absolutely not be the difference between constant flooding and occasional flooding. Low to high tide is over 4ft.
No offense, but 2ft still will be constantly added to this, and where that is the significant difference and unless you call getting flooded twice a day non-constant flooding..... however I see noone living right in the tidelands right now.

Feels like an optimistic projection, though.
It is--it's following the current trend, whereas NOAA's intermediate projection is around 3'4". (https://www.climate.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_widt...)
