Florida is porous limestone. Even the most sophisticated seawalls wouldn’t prevent water from coming in through the sides and up, unless you drilled those walls very deep...and even then you’d have to get water from somewhere once you’ve pumped it all out of the state (an issue already happening regardless of carbon output - look up lateral saltwater intrusion)


I said nothing about our seawalls, the sea level rise at our coasts has been about stable for the last century with no noticable acceleration.

From my initial comment it is crystal clear I am speaking about The Netherlands.
