I didn't view this map as scaremongering. Or that it's publisher was a
"Climate Crisis idiot" merely rehashing the way the earth cycles through the waxing and waning of ice ages over billions of years. I took it to be more of a heads up of how this particular warming will effect us.
Millions of years ago there were no large permanent human settlements that needed to be relocated but now we have human settlements that, in some cases, house millions of people.
Surely there is case for the effects of rising sea levels to be considered, especially when we live on an island where being able to live safely around our coasts has been something we have taken for granted
Or would you rather we wait and see? I am sure that countries such as the Netherlands aren't sitting back refusing to acknowledge what is going to happen. In fact they have been actively planning for several years.

snippet from 2019 .... “Here we’re making the dike 2 meters higher,” said Silvia Mosterd, who works for the waterschap Noorderzijlvest, one of 21 regional water boards in the Netherlands responsible for local flood controls and water quality. She climbed up a 10-meter high, muddy sea dike near the town of Delfzijl, while truck after truck dumped a mixture of sand and gravel on the dike, a foundation for the asphalt that will cover part of the dike on the sea side.
