Can we combat the rising sea level from climate change by building massive dams?

Only if you build them quickly, and with the wet end around the oligarchs.

Building a dam around Musk would be a great way to create Lake Ketamine.

It’d be a really relaxing lake, until your urethra fails anyway.

Sure, but it would have to be around the polar ice caps. And even then, I'd guess you'd need a dome to prevent the water from evaporating and going past the dam.

That's both horrifying and kind of cool.
