Woah woah woah, you just added substantial additional items to answer my question.

I'm not doubting changes in rainfall, population density increases, etc. These were completely and totally irrelevant to my question though.

I read through the 1st page of this thread, and one of the concerns was how much farm land would be lost because of the rise in sea levels. That just....doesn't make sense.

Be concerned about weather changes and what that might mean (to the applicable farm land as well), but don't include lost farm land as a major reason to specifically be worried about sea levels rising.

Well I didn't provide links so you can legitimately just disregard the rest.

Sea level rise itself won't be a major problem for farming worldwide overall for a very long time, but lower lying area's like rice fields in China for example, could become more of a problem over time. Right now they are working on GMO rice that can grow in brackish water because of this. What's ironic is rice paddies create significant amounts of methane gas that just contributes to climate change, so, what, to, do...
