At 7 feet BELOW sea level this is a real problem. Those who think that the solution is to move inland also don't face basic reality.
1. We are an import/export based economy so we need access to harbors.
2. Most of the interior is useless except for resource extraction and cannot support a large population.
I invite those who want to move the capital into the interior to note the experience of Brazil and Belize. The largest cities in both remain those on or near the coast with the "capitals" remaining outside of the scope of most economic activity.
And in the case of Brazil much of the economic activity which does occur in the interior is a creeping environmental disaster every bit as devastating in scope as that which caused this ice shelf to collapse.
