If a doctor told me that, and told me that there was little that could be done (as roni's post from earlier stated: • Warmer temperatures and rising sea levels will continue for centuries even if greenhouse gas concentrations are stabilized), I would investigate my options, thoroughly. I wouldn't make a spur of the moment decision or try as many possible forms of recovery, as possible and bankrupt my family in the process.
It is one thing to say the climate is changing. OK, fine. What can we do? By the sound it (again, roni's "fact"), not much. Even if the US were to fully comply with the most extreme preventive measures, do you seriously think that countries like Mexico and China have the ability to do the same? Good luck with that. Of course, you want to do what you can, within reason.
If I believed sea levels were going to go up 15 to 40 feet in the next X years, and immediate reductions of CO2 emissions wouldn't change that fact, then I wouldn't rebuild New Orleans or buy a condo in Playa. It would be irresponsible and stupid, wouldn't it?
