Okay so here's the way it works in very simple terms...

The earth warms, ice melts, sea level rises. Sea level rising causes continental plates to move which not only causes earthquakes but makes volcanos go off. Volcanic ash clouds block the sun which cools earth.

So glad to live where ice melting, sea level rising, or plate tectonics don't effect my life much.

Another consideration is the Mississippi river basin. The watershed area run off is more than can be moved through the delta without flooding. To keep New Orleans from flooding the corp of engineers basically must decide which area of the watershed gets flooded. Then they try to call it a natural disaster.
