I wish we’d stop calling it climate change or global warming, that implies this is natural instead of big oil lying to us. Call it what it is, ”big oils climate plan”
That's just erosion. It's what happens when you build on coasts. Climate change is something else entirely.
- Warmer temperatures got ice melting. This raised sea level a bit, and increased the rate of erosion
  
  Yes, but scale and diversity of phenomena are going to be spectacular. Building and losing shitty homes on coasts doesn't really do the topic justice.
- Storms increase in intensity and frequency with climate change, increasing rates of erosion. Most homes built to survive any weather except the worst storm of the past 10,000 years will not survive this century.
