This is bothering me. People don't seem to be aware of ocean levels rising. A $2.1 trillion infrastructure plan that doesn't include raising sea walls or infrastructure that can absorb or redirect water. It would be nothing within a budget of that scale.
What does it take to reinforce a wall? Is concrete the strongest material we have in building? What form should reinforcement take?
-impermeability and Strength: structure with many layers of reinforcement
-of course, it is the ground behind the immediate barrier that needs to hold
Need better predictions about the volume of water
-will ice in deeper portions of the ocean melt?
(-the obvious still needed: what is the volume of ice quite certain to melt Intuition: an educated guess is better than nothing)
-rate of water level rising
-given that we are concerned with only the surface layer of the ocean, possibly the pressure would be less than what initially appears
Complex problems usually require complex solutions
-was the land elevation survey done: then, prioritization and traffic planning
(-water, food, shelter, communication, transportation)
