I'm afraid it is much to late to take any meaningful action, the warnings were given in the 1970's and nobody did much of anything, the rich can move to higher ground to avoid the water rising but for the majority close to the sea it's going to be a disaster.
I include myself in the close to the sea group, I am about a quarter of a km from the sea/estuary in Chch just above sea-level (1 meter maybe) I walk my dog everyday and have been here for eight years now, may just be a local fluctuation but there's a lot more surface water than there used to be when I first got here and it's been a dry year so far.

It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
