I'd be happy to buy it at a discounted price (you DO believe it will be subsumed by molten lava next Thursday, right?). I'd even be happy to hold it for a few years so you can "punish" me for my heretical ideas. Then I will sell it in few years for market value and make a nice profit.
Even if it WERE real to the extent that ocean levels rose by a few meters, the cost of building seawalls and moving cities further inland, or raising the grade of bulidings as they did in Galveston after the 1900 hurricane would be far less than the cost of actually addressing the issue (absent sensibly addressing it by expanding use of nuclear power, which would have a net negative cost after a decade or so).
