They are there a very high income company that can or cannot afford that protection for them or their neighbor communities, but what about everywhere else, where there are no tech giant with that possibility?

They are making the wrong question. Or some of the companies/entities behind (either causing, financing disinformation campaings, or getting "donations" from them) have to support that cost, or should be done by the government (they didn't take any compromise regarding climate for almost 30 years) or the people will have to deal with that in their own way.

And in the last case, the companies are in the same situation.

And the worst part is that the problem won't be a couple of feet of sea level rise, in the last month we've seen plenty of floods by extreme weather alone. And not sure how will end the sea level at the end of the decade with the positive feedback on climate, and high temperatures around Greenland.



It also pretty much affects anywhere with significant amounts of water. The recent floods in Zhengzhou were pretty bad, and that was hundreds of km inland.
