I just explained how the population of New Orleans has actually rebounded after Hurricane Katrina, and you're claiming, absurdly, that the migration away from coastal areas all over the world has already started.

This is baseless nonsense, armchair psychology at its worst.

I presume you consider your method of "take a million climate models, extrapolate them out decades beyond what we have any knowledge of, discard all the ones that aren't alarming, be alarmed at the remainder" is based armchair climatology?
> You're looking at far too small a window. The population in New Orleans peaked decades ago.
The point about New Orleans was to refute your argument about Hurricanes. The population is now higher than it was before Katrina, and it's still growing.
If you arbitrarily choose the peak population year, then it's currently 5% lower than the peak year, but again, the population is now growing not shrinking, and it's as high now as it was back in 1975, an even wider window than you selected.
In any case, you've conveniently avoided my request for a citation that the world population is moving away from the coasts.
> I presume you consider your method
More baseless nonsense. I'm done here. I've already wasted too much time on your junk comments.

I never claimed that, I claimed that the population would move on an as-needed basis, which you yourself demonstrated via your friend. Why would people move if there is no danger? That said, we do indeed see falling property values in growing flood zones, pointing towards decreased desirability of some coastal land. My claim is that such land will slowly grow over time, at a manageable rate. As we have observed to date. Again, my entire claim: "people move, people build, life moves on".
> If you arbitrarily choose the peak population year
Lol. How is picking the maximum arbitrary when considering trends? Another piece of based armchair statistics from you.

Unfortunately common when one tries to disrupt the HN hivemind. "I don't have any facts to back this up but Smart People^{tm} say it's true so if you don't agree you're dumb".
