RE: Studies prove link between human activity and extreme weather events

In 2100 sea level rise will probably be the least of our worries. Right now it appears it will be 3-6 feet (1-2 meters) but it won't happen fast enough to drown anyone except maybe when a storm surge catches them by surprise. But 10,000 years ago there wasn't much infrastructure to worry about. People could pretty much just pick up their belongings and move to higher ground. That's not so true now-a-days.
The moral implications of vilifying reputable scientists and blocking action on reducing the causes of the current global warming will come back to haunt people like you. I think in 2100 most people will look back on the climate change deniers of our current era with the same revulsion that most people feel about pre-Civil War slave owners and Holocaust deniers today.
The Earth is a large physical system that responds to the inputs it receives. It doesn't give a damn about any ideology. Woe unto us if we ignore that fact too long.
