    I don’t plan to be living over the next few centuries or millennia.

    It’s hard to read this without hearing a “I got mine, so f everyone after me” in it. When you talk about this with your friends, maybe consider rephrasing it?

      I think if the title said something like “cities of the world could flood in the next century” rather than “don’t buy a beach house”, you would have a point. But that’s not the case here.
