However there is now the power to stop it or decrease it

In fact

yeah and we should do it otherwise we're gonna have a bunch of people fuckin die

If we did all of this

We wouldn’t be able to tell if it worked immediately

Global sea level rose about 8 inches (20 centimeters) in the last century. The rate in the last two decades, however, is nearly double that of the last century and accelerating slightly every year.10

It would take at least 30-40 years to tell if we actually helped the environment

no it wouldn't

well

some aspects would

but we have ways to measure and predict these things before they take massive effect

Yes it will

some of the strongest evidence would take that time, but we'd have indications that something has changed before that

aka we'd see acceleration slowing down

We can easily have progression if we do simple and practical things in the early stages

Building dikes and walls around cities like New Orleans and Miami

that's a stopgap solution

Instead of trying to do something insanely complex

what are we gonna do, build a dyke around every city in the world?

how tf you gonna build lesbians?

Not every city is located near the ocean btw

lots of them are

But most major cities are

yea

If we really want to do something we should try that

Build dikes and test them

dykes work

That is probably right now

but we're going to have to build bigger and bigger dykes

Very effective to stop rising levels

what about places that aren't cities

the dykes will have to be huge

and extremely expensive

True

what are underdeveloped nations going to do?

huge huge

dykes

Like what cities

fucking die?
