GingerCat Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 It's not that accurate, according to the map I'll be under water but I'm at 98ft elevation above sea level. Better take up fishing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymo Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Hate to say it Oowee, but by the end of the century you will be ‘DEAD’ ( unless medical science makes leaps and bounds ). So I wouldn’t start thinking of a bit of wildfowling just yet. On the plus side- if my children have offspring and keep the house we’re hoping to buy, then they will have a lovely sea view by the looks of it.

Lord Geordie Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 That’s odd my gaff is 90m above sea level yet a 2m rise sees it disappear? Scare tactics at is best me thinks!

NoBodyImportant Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 The Democrats in the US are telling me the world is ending in 12 years so this really doesn’t matter. But if it does I’m on a island so that’s pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the map and thought I must be looking at wrong one as all I saw was the tops of hills peeking above the water. Unless your in very low lying land 2m ride won't affect much.

manthing Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 I'm OK, according to that we're 110m above sea level atm. See me out. Google says it only goes up 70m anyway. Can't see what all the fuss is about. 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Sea level has been increasing roughly 1.6mm per year over the last century, mainly due to thermal expansion of the oceans caused by solar forcing, as we are about to enter a 'maunder minimum' (sun output is now falling), this will reverse and therfore not much to worry about.

Better take up fishing.... It is, someone has set it to the wrong height, top left says 397m when you click the link. Set it to 2m then scroll into the Humber estuary or east of Peterborough, or even the new island state of New Romney and Dungeness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
