Flood defences can only go so far before the water pressure gets high enough to liquify the ground underneath them, you would literally have to build a dam all along the coast to stop any flooding. A friend of mine lives near Boston, miles from the sea, but in the distance you can see a black line on the horizon which is the sea wall and it is obviously metres above the land, one breach in that would flood hundreds of square miles.

A grim thought and if drastic action is not taken over the coming years, the world may become something like as portrayed in this nightmare vision of the future.....Waterworld Official Trailer #1 - Kevin Costner Movie (1995) HD

Government needs to ensure more is put into pensions, expectations are too high for most. They've created a system of moral hazard across the board
It's kind of like THE WHOLE f*cking SYSTEM IS BROKEN AND A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE CAN'T KEEP ON HOARDING THE WORLDS WEALTH WITHOUT DIRE CONSEQUENCES FOR EVERYONE.

Despite many negative claims, it would seem from many reports that this film ''Waterworld'' was NOT the financial disaster it was claimed to be at the time, overall it eventually MADE money and still does with revinue still coming in from DVD's, various film channels etc !
''Box office. Due to the runaway costs of the production and its expensive price tag, some critics dubbed it "Fishtar" and "Kevin's Gate", alluding to the flops Ishtar and Heaven's Gate, although the film debuted at the box office at #1.[18][19] With a budget of $172 million (and a total outlay of $235 million once marketing and distribution costs are factored in), the film grossed $88 million at the North American box office. The film did better overseas, with $176 million at the foreign box office, for a worldwide total of $264 million. However, even though this figure surpasses the total costs spent by the studio, it does not take into account the percentage of box office gross that theaters retain, which is generally up to half but after factoring in home video sales and TV broadcast rights among other revenue streams, Waterworld eventually became profitable.''
