> Worrying about sea level going up 10cm in his/her lifetime is a rich person hobby.

Worrying about the future past next year is definitely a rich person hobby, if you define "rich" as "not imminently starving".

Sea level rise is the least of the trouble. Look at fisheries decline (yield per inflation-adjusted-dollar spent has been recorded for a long time now - in spite of new tech it's been dropping for over a century), temperature-driven crop failures, increased frequency of severe storms damaging infrastructure.
