Let’s swap their safe land for submerged islands.

LOL!! Given that the North Pole is all ice and won't raise the sea level, let's turn tot he South Pole--whose total ice mass melts by half every year and doesn't raise levels one bit. If the other half melts, we won't notice that, either.

There will be no ocean levels rising due to "climate change"

Warm water takes up more volume than cool water.

Thermal expansion.

There is no need for ice to melt off land and into water for ocean levels to rise.

That being said - we didn't have catastrophic ocean level rises during the Medieval Warm Period - and it is not yet that warm.

Wake me when they are growing wine grapes in England again - then we might be warming up enough for it to actually be a problem. Until then.......
