It's on its way, and happening now.

Do it for the whole country, then the world. Frightening. Like Doggerland. Except there will be nowhere to go. Start building your ark.

I saw two photos of the Statue of Liberty, one from this year and one from 100 years ago, and it clearly shows the sea level is the same, which I was happy to learn. Sea level rise is an interesting topic.

Yet 10 meters is over 30 feet isn't it? I haven't heard anyone forecasting that much sea level rise. I'm checking meters to feet again...one meter is equivalent to 1.0936 yards, or 39.370 inches. Silly people say it will give feet, but it only gives yards and inches. But still 10 meters would be 10+ yards, which brings about 30 feet. Have you anything to substantiate their figures?

I don't hold out much hope for the Fens. Cambridge looks set to become a seaside resort.

We are still emerging from the last ice age of some 10,000 years ago. One day, many thousands of years hence, we shall once again descend into another ice age and seas will turn to ice and retreat again. These cycles have happened before - it's just that humanity was not around to witness them. They will happen so gradually that mankind will have time to adapt. (or die out to let nature take another course - as happened to the dinosaurs).

Yes, global warming is happening but we don't improve things with our carbon dioxide emissions. Just one large volcanic eruption (like Krakatoa) could negate any of the changes that puny man strives to effect.

Funny how the billionaire backers of Climate Change all seem to favour buying seaside properties to live in? It's almost as if they know that their own dire predictions of massive sea level rises are just scaremongering crap.

Hull will become the modern day equivalent of The Lost City of Atlantis and myths and legends will be spawned about what life was like there as diving teams set out from Sheffield-on-Sea to explore.
