That's a very interesting (and frightening) resource, Jack. Makes me very grateful that I won't be around to see the consequences.

I suspect that is a very simple resource based purely on contours.
I doubt it takes into account any flood defences that might be built by the Green Party Governments of the 2030s.
My old dad - a reporter based at Great Yarmouth on the east coast – recalled a huge flood in February 1938 that inundated the Norfolk Broads.

I happened to be born some nine months after the flood so dad obviously had adequate time off from his onerous journalistic duties
The Swallowtails have survived the 81 years since 1938 and so have I. There is hope!

Lol! Only you could come up with a remark like that on here, Jack.I agree about the projections being based on contour lines. It doesn't take a genius to work out that if you currently live 6m above sea level then you are going to be in trouble if in 50 years time it has risen by 10m!
