I suppose it's no great surprise but it certainly is very worrying and
is potentially far more important than all the political shenanigans
that fill the news media. I wonder if there's a backroom team somewhere
in Whitehall trying to devise a plan for an orderly abandonment of
Central London before the end of the century. It might eventually come
to that. There's only so much water that can be kept out. I won't be
around to see the potential problem becoming reality but my
grandchildren might well be.

Probably a good time to be living where the land is rising after the last ice age. Anyone for Norway?

Out on Scilly the land's sinking. It's very interesting, from an archaeological point of view, looking through the shallow clear waters to see all the old remains, including stone walls and buildings, now around or just below the low tide mark.
