Rich people: I want a place on the ocean and it is my right to have an outsized impact on climate change (and thus sea level rise and increased storm severity). Also rich people: But who will protect my second home from the its proximity to the shore and the impacts of climate change?
Suing to stop retreat sounds futile. Oceans will keep rising, regardless of what the law says. A rock wall only buy times, it won’t protect these properties forever.
Best one could hope is to delay retreat, or seek compensation for people that voluntarily retreat.
