Oh well - if money's the problem, that's an end to it!

Or if it's politics and power, then let the people without a vote die.

Mind you, Holland managed to reclaim hundreds of square miles from the sea. They could afford to do that. They decided it was a good idea, allocated funds to the project(s) and went ahead and did it. Now they stand to lose it because a small but vocal group of people are in denial. What concern are Holland's problems to them?

Global warming IS happening, and it IS possible to mitigate the effects. I can't say if we can do enough, but if we do nothing they'll be worse than they have to be.

But we don't have to build sea walls everywhere, we can - and will have to - move inland. Massive population shifts will have far-reaching consequences and no matter how deep you bury your head in the sand, everyone, everywhere will be affected to some degree or other. So a good plan would be to work out where displaced people should go and how to get them there without wars and without causing greater hardship.

Sounds like a job for a good politician with lots of money to me.
