The New York Times' Dot Earth blog offers some reasons to be skeptical of the findings.

It's real! Panic!
Even if it's not real, the world will be a better place if you panic!
Frankly, I don't give a crap what the world will be like for my great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren. If they're too slow to get out of the way of a 500 year long rising tide, screw em.

Ducks?
Yes, so fetch me a duck and I get my scales out....
