when the glaciers melt completely (the ice shelves holding back the Thwaites and Pine glaciers go, (within 3 to 5 years) sea levels, globally, will rise 1 to 3 meters) this "wall" will do absolutely nothing. it won't ever be high enough for any storm surge. And certainly will not be built in time.

think about this, they are not even in the planning stages yet for any kind of "sea wall". I can guarantee you that the costs will go up and it will fall behind schedule. that is certain.

this is all just folly to pacify the masses along the coast.
