Being very familiar with some of the areas in question in south Louisiana, I can tell you those areas have always been uninhabitable....those are the areas we call "swamp". You might be familiar with the idea....so a 2 foot rise (which imho is highly questionable given the IPCC track record thus far), isn't a panic...

No scientists are infallible and most never claim to be, Science if about adapting new data and methods as it comes along. Is there any data that could be presented that would convince you this was true?
My skepticism is precisely what the scientific method ia all about, and I agree with you that good science is a process of refining projections in the face of alternative data.
This is a reasonable position, if you are solely concerned about property losses resulting from a flood event (FEMA perspective). Will you allow me to describe a property loss scenario that is not based on a rainfall/flood event? Just as a thought....if the road to the house you described is at elevation 6 and the existing mean sea level is 1.5 with tides rising and falling 2 feet above/below the mean. Is the house still viable if MSL rises to 4 or 4.5 and tides are running up to 6.5/7? ? In that instance the house is high and dry, but the road to the house is inundated a couple of times a day and much longer during king tides. In that case, if the owner tries to sell, will anybody buy it? Will a bank provide a mortgage? Can the owner get it insured? Will FEMA reimburse the owner (not a rain based flood event) for an undamaged house that is not readily accessible? Maybe the local government raises the road...but the driveway and property itself remain at elevation 5 or 6. To me, this scenario is highly realistic and raises some very problematic issues when multiplied by the millions of properties located at low elevation all over the country. Then add in the businesses, the military bases, the landfills, etc. etc. etc.
I wouldn't mind the raw data before the political "corrections" were made for a start.
This is not raw data, but it references much of the work being conducted by GT professors related to sea level rise. Some pretty interesting research going on down there at the Georgia Tech Research Institute.
You and I both know that when Mar a Lago and the Trump Library (collection of comic books and playboy magazines) gets inundated due to sea level rise, the Trump family will sue Palm Beach County, the State of Florida, and the Federal Government for failing to take action and protect his property in a timely manner.
Well, it is probably the cheapest solution available.....
Because in a debate, the drones who have been convinced will actually hear arguments and data they have never heard before. Some small percentage will likely go somewhere to check out those arguments, and a few will become convinced that have been bamboozled. So, they have nothing to gain but everything to lose....
