the rest of the world doesn’t run that way (which isn’t possible)

It is possible. And the bitter irony is that it would be better for everyone on average. Just not better for a few specific people on the whole.

When sea rise lifts things a couple of meters, billions are displaced.

Where will they run to? Not the US Gulf Coast or the Dutch flatlands. Not to the low lying Caribbean Islands or the coastline of Japan or Australia.

The most Climate Change friendly regions are going to be high altitude but still retain access to lots of potable water. Curiously enough, that looks like... Iran, Venezuela, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa.

All those Western yahoos screaming about illegal immigrants are on track to become ones. And right back to the countries they spent generations pissing off.
