Assuming there at least 200 coastal communities that would be similarly impacted, what would a rough total cost the US be for a 4 foot increase in sea level? (dollars/community * 200 communities)

The US uses 130 billion gallons of gasoline every year. If we decided to generate a mitigation fund over a 10 year time period by taxing gasoline, how much per gallon would be the tax? (total financial loss from sea level rise / total gasoline consumption over 10 years)
