OP's image is a valid refutation.
The sea level rise is a solved quantity. We already know how fast it is rising, and how fast it will continue to rise. The answer is very very slowly and steadily, to the point where it is a trivial and insignificant problem easily addressed by sea walls and slowly increasing the pad height of new construction in some low-lying coastal communities.
I guess I'm just missing what is being refuted by OP.
Alarmists are all over the place in their argumentation. They claim every severe weather event and natural disaster under the sun is because of climate change and CO2 output.
The fact that Spaniards suffer cold-specific casualties proportionately less than other Europeans, juxtaposed with the narrative fear porn about heat deaths, does not give me anything I think I could convince an alarmist with.
Their fear is about the future. They still think heat and ocean levels will be an actual problem, and that we'll lose the beloved polar bears.
climate change aka global warming = the earth's average temperature will go up slightly.
this is a good thing, because it will mean a small increase in heat deaths, but a much much larger decrease in cold deaths, for a net overall benefit to human health and safety.
There are other arguments for why global warming is good, such as the GLOBAL GREENING brought on by the fact that higher temperatures and more CO2 massively boost the farmable land and general plant biomass in the world, but OP's point is one of the significant arguments in favor of the fact that global warming will be a net benefit to society.
If you study the science, as I have, then you know that there is no scientific evidence of any ill effects from global warming other than sea level rise, which is easily adapted to. There is no evidence that global warming causes any increase in natural disasters of any kind, be it wild fires or hurricanes or volcanoes. Nor is there any evidence that a hotter earth means more deserts. Quite the opposite. The earth was 12-15C hotter in the past, and at those temperatures, it wasn't a barren hellscape, it was a lush jungle planet. High temperatures means more evaporation, and therefore more rain.
