The next aspect of this issue to consider is: How fast will the sea
levels rise or recede or do nothing? The answer is centimeters per
year at worse. Is that catastrophic? Will people drown? Nope. We'll
just move out of the way over the course of years or decades or a
century. Big whoop.

It only needs a rise of a few metres to threaten the homes of several
million
Londoners. Where are they going to move to?

How long have we got Bob?
