The street flooding in Shore Acres (I know someone who lives there) during regular high tides has become worse over just the past five years.
All these have come to pass due to sea level rise. The rate of sea level rise has been shown to have increased due to manmade influences on climate change. Not weather and not hurricanes but an increasing rate of climate change. There is the reality, there is the science, there is the data, and yet there are still deniers.

If street flooding is the issue, lets use your idea and make an immediate change. ELIMINATE streets! If you are worried that your home is going to flood, then move to higher ground. The weather is going to change and it is going to rain or snow or get hot and dry, whether you stop using fossil fuels or quit eating beef. Remember, you can't change the weather but you CAN change where you live so you won't see street flooding. I've lived through several hurricanes here and my street has yet to flood. We have storm drains.
Regarding "deniers" it seems like you are admitting to being a "denier" because you are denying the science that others are producing to substantiate their view. Why in the world would you demand that other folks "don't listen" to opposing views? Isn't that a form of science? Or, is science where you ignore facts/results that do not support ones agenda?
Personally, I try to do my part in reducing air pollution when possible. I am not about to make believe that I am GOD and that I can influence the changing climate. Perhaps, if someone tells every person in the world to open their windows and crank up their A/C we can cool off the planet? Is that a means of man made climate change?
