If this was the Netherlands this problem would be in the hands of Engineers who would ensure that our coastline was protected using an impressive array of civil engineering of the kind that terrifies the kids and grannies in Extinction Rebellion. Instead, we are in the UK where Government Departments and BBC's "Countryfile" are more excited about the wonderful opportunities for wading birds to inhabit the newly created coastal marshes. | | | |

In the Netherlands, half the country would disappear if the sea defences were not maintained. In the UK, it is mainly marginal areas like Aldershot by Sea that are at risk. |  | | |

Most of its inhabitants have never heard of water... or soap. |  |

3 metres is a laughable exaggeration. It is a figure that must have gone through the hands of a few ('I'll just add on 10% for more effect") posters. That pretty much assumes that all the water on earth is going into the sea (including all the moisure in the atmosphere, and then some). If that happened we'd all be long since dead anyway. | | | |

As it should be, because the natural ecosystem is FAR more important than protecting manmade habitats.
Sort the root cause (climate change), don't waste more resources building things to stop it. |  |

Their new stadium was going to be built in the sea. It looks like their old one will end up there soon. "Jolly boating weather" will be their new song as they row their boats there on match days.

That was my own guess on how much it has risen on that link which does not say how much the seahas risen on the picture.
but the full real figure of the ice caps melting is around 70 metres, 200 odd feet... 2x football pitches.....
But at current rates of melting those currently alive might not see it, although, as more melts and it speeds up we might, we have already lost 95 % of the thickest and oldest sea ice and greenland is melting 5 x faster now than it was 15 years ago | | | |
