Would you rather die

Would you rather live the perfect life until you suddenly died in a car accident at age 30 or live your current life and die in your 80's?

My current life is the perfect life minues the whole probation thing... I think I can wait it out for another year & live til 80.... Probably going to live until at least 180 though. Nothing can kill me now.

Current life, seeing how life is always changing which means my potential life could be amazing. If I had to live my life as it is now, without ever changing in any way; I'd probably prefer to take your first option.

Neither. I intend to live forever. By the time I am 70, alzheimers will have been cured and the technology/medicine will exist to allow me to live (with quality of life) to 125. By the time I am 125, the tech will exist for 160, by the time 160 rolls around, it will exist for 210, etc. etc...
Over the course of this time, new artifical body parts will constantly be developed and improved, and eventually the technology will exist (through nanorobots in the blood stream) to convert my brain into an artificial construct one cell at a time, keeping my consciousness intact.
I do NOT want to simply transfer my brain to a machine and then let my meat body die. I don't give two shits whether a machine which THINKS it is me lives forever. The fact is that I would still be dead, and that is unacceptable.
Obviously there are any number of things that might kill me before this can come to fruition, but it is the goal anyway.

Not interested. I will live long enough to see the effects of global climate change, and much of Florida will be flooded... so you can keep it.

Up for debate. You reference the IPCC estimate, which could be right, but I also suspect to have ulterior motives behind it's numbers. Current estimates range from 50cm to 6 feet by the end of this century. We will have a much better idea in 20 years. No point in even arguing about it now.

Oh and by the way, even 37 inches is enough to do some serious damage to the Florida coastline... and to obliterate much of the rice fields of Asia.

Well then let's talk about just Miami, shall we?
The elevation of the Miami area never rises above 40 ft (12 m) and averages at around 6 ft (1.8 m) above mean sea level in most neighborhoods, especially near the coast. You do realize that the sea is not a static thing, right? 3 feet higher means many neighborhoods would be flooded, but more than that, it means that all storm surges would be 3 feet higher as well. If you have lived there, that concept should scare the pants off you.
Miami sits on soft ground. you would have to dig quite deep to hit bedrock in order to sink pylons for effective sea defense systems such as dams, seawalls and levies which encircled the city. If you don't bury them in bedrock, the sea will just erode under them. I have seen estimates which suggest that to defend the city of Miami from even a modest 3 foot sea level rise would cost in excess of a quarter of a trillion dollars. It is doable, but is it worth it?
If the sea rises much more than 3 feet, the answer to the above question will very likely be "no", and the city would have to be abandoned to the sea.
And that's not even taking into account the impact on the local economy. The construction of the required sea defenses would destroy every beach in the area. 60 percent of Miami's economy depends on tourism.

Having lived through Andrew, witnessing Katrina and Wilma, and tens of summer rain storms over two feet in rainfall, three feet wont do much. Theres still proper drainage at that level. You do know we sit on top of porous limestone, right?
Three feet wont do anything drastic. MAYBE flood anything before Ocean Drive to the ocean, but just barely. Bayside would be fine, Downtown is fine, and where my parents live would certainly be fine, and they live by South East Miami. Even canals all over the city have been adapted since Wilma when the city saw some substantial issues.
Five to ten feet is where I could imagine some severe issues coming. But three feet? Nothing but beach area is lost.

The city itself might sit on limestone, not the surrounding areas, and certainly not the coasts where the sea defenses would have to be built.
Edit >> I am wrong about this, as can be seen Here, but it turns out that this "Porous limestone" known as "Miami oolite" is in fact the "soft ground" mentioned in the report I read. It is not capable of supporting the proposed sea defenses. it is too soft, porous and erodes quickly.

See my previous comment regardin 60 percent of the economy.
We still have Disney World and not all beaches would be lost, its fine. New inner water park themes open up, more revenue, ect. Its in a state with funding, they will learn how to adapt to economic changes. Old people will still come for free health care, Jews will still invest and live down here. Everything moves inner city, Doral will kick off, and expanding West and South will increase the housing market in response to the eastern flooding. W Not all beaches are lost, and stacking sand to help remake an artificial beach is possible. They do it in other places, no?
Shit, even the casinos can kick off here. A new Las Vegas.
Edit: Ran by the Indians, of course. And hopefully less smokey.
