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.

Couldn’t countries invest in solar powered coastal desalination plants, and
use solar powered pumps to move the water inland, and irrigate crops?

Given the amount spent by arid countries on military spending, a few billion
diverted to environmental issues might be worthwhile.
