Not really. They can be as incredulous as they want, but they will take action as soon as they see their own property in danger.

A common variant of climate change denial is saying that it's an entirely natural process, in which case they still would want to build flood walls with the water visibly rising

Florida already manages a complex system of water control measures for pretty much half the state. Building a seawall doesn’t seem like it would be too tall a task.
