From 1901 to 2018, global seal levels have risen 24cm.

As measured between 2006-2015 the average global increase is 3.6mm a year.

Predicted in North America the average coastal increase will be 3.9m by 2150. Far short of the 66m projected on that map.

Not saying you’re wrong, it’s an interesting topic of debate. But by that math it would be another 2,200 years before we reach that map. I highly doubt our society will last anywhere that long haha. poisoning of the planet will kill us long before

Spoiler!

I'll freely admit that map may be complete crap, my point is that you need to think ahead and come up with something that covers other scenarios (like Traum did below) or it just creates a mess in the future. Kinda like how now we have a bunch of headaches from people not planning ahead a couple hundred years ago.

The same thing can be done to relocate climate refugees. You define 3 ranges where:

1) below this population size, the whole place is getting bought out and relocated

2) within this middle range, you get some civic planning expert to do the math on a case by case basis, taking resident wishes into account. You try to get the local population to move if it is cheaper and they are willing.

3) beyond this population size, the local government hunkers down with help from the province / feds to build something that is resilient enough to withstand XXX type of climate disaster.

Lytton would without a doubt fall into category 1. Princeton has a 3000-ish population. If I have to guess, it would probably fall into category 1 as well? Richmond would probably stay, unless we see a forecast so disastrous that would wipe out everything.
