Land predicted to be below average flood level by 2030

[Wooly]

That's Romney Marsh back under the sea then............just like it was 600 years ago.

Strange how the planning department don't believe these predictions, by the amount of new houses being built in the red zones !!

 

[Courier]

Going by the map, 80% of our farm will be under water by 2030. Do they factor in coastal walls?

Presumably those projections are ignoring man made defences ?

There are many, many acres at or below sea level and have been for centuries but maintained by drains and pumps...

 

[yellowbelly]

What percentage of the country's grade 1 land is that then?

In any case, water park and fishing lakes more ££££ than cropping.

It'll be a fair bit of it, 'cos that's why most of it is grade one - it's alluvial silt.

On @Clive 's map, I'm guessing Lincolnshire looks pretty much like it did before Vermuyden showed up.

If you look at ancient maps of lincs, most ancient churches are built above or on the 15m above sea level line. Weren't stupid.

Interesting map. ? so who is going to be farming fish by 2030 ?

'kin idiots whoever drew that up if they are really suggesting that this is going to be below flood level ..........

And that's only a small segment of the Sainted Isle. The map suggests the whole of the coastline is under threat. Well, a good 70% is cliff like the pic.

I suspect that history will show their predictions to be about as accurate as those made in the early 90's about the Maldives being completely submerged by 2010.

And the first people to get flooded out will be London

 

[Lowland1]

We are at 6200 feet above sea level in Kenya and the farm in Lincolnshire is about 3 feet above sea level. Luckily i have the gift of foresight.

I hear the current barrier is now thought to be needing to be re-made higher in the not too distant future

Yet more rubbish from a government department desperate to justify jobs for the boys. In my neck of the woods it has the same ridiculous flood map for 2030, only eight years in future, as it has for 2070. The 2030 one is ridiculous and it is highly unlikely that half my local town will be flooded with flooding no worse in recent years that it was in the 1960's and then only just lapping over the harbour wall at a high spring tide with the wind blowing in through the harbour mouth while the river was in extreme full flow. If sea level rose another four inches in that time it wouldn't flood more than a quarter of the area shown and then only in those conditions.
It shows my house in town well in the flood zone where in fact it is about 20ft above any high tide or river level I've ever seen. Perhaps they are expecting a tsunami?

Those extreme conditions are not occurring at more frequent intervals than I remember from the 1960's. About one year in ten for a day or so and only for a couple of hours if conditions are 'right' at Spring high tide.

I guess you are my new best friend..........along with all the other farmers that are farming at sea level


Now just put your postcode beside your location.......

I wouldn't worry. The only tidal wave you need to worry about is the tsunami of climate change booolocks we are getting subjected to on a daily basis.

There is zero chance of all this being flooded by 2030, yet more modelling from the Neil Ferguson school of total make believe. The trouble is these alarmist covid/climate projections have real world consequences .

Don't say that. I've just purchased some rice seed to plant next year............. and the bonus is that it doesn't need fertilizer !

The following year the pontoon arrives, ready for the boat tours. No flying off to Venice needed then........so that saves even more carbon.

Planners are 'kin idiots. Driven by their Council needs to build and get revenues in, mostly.

I'm thinking that it must be time to build an ark. What size would I need for a male and female of all species of everything? Possibly three pairs of everything because some may be infertile and we don't want too much in-breeding. Not forgetting enough hay for them all and straw for bedding and maybe robots for mucking out and daily chores, because they ain't going to do it themselves.
This project is too big for me, so maybe do a Go Fund Me style campaign first. There are millions of true believers that will donate their life savings I'm sure, because let's face it, they won't be able to spend it themselves after the end of days.

Maybe just buy Snowdonia, you should be OK, unless the glaciers start rolling South again....

Won't be a problem if they start making hydrogen from water! Be pumping it out the sea, lowering the sea levels, and making hydrogen fuel. Brilliant.

Now I woke up, most likely me on romney marsh!!!!

The Royal Family will have very wet feet when in Norfolk, plus not much left of Cambridgeshire, east of Peterborough
