[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 7435947, member: 8735"] Send them to the Netherlands? 😐 Joking apart, where [U]will[/U] the Dutch etc. go? It is going to be a big problem and, despite its being unavoidable, nobody in government here or over in Europe seems to be recognising the fact, let alone planning for it... Fisheries will enlarge / improve with global warming, so will currently impassable arctic trade routes, these things will make a big difference to economies. Climate change will also see higher land become more viable, be it for grass or crops, but it's hard to quantify it well. Odd, I have two friends - even here in rural West Wales - who moved here from the Netherlands in the last decade and, through them, I've met other Dutch people over here, there is in fact a Dutch 'community' over here. When I worked in London there were loads of Dutch there, nearly as many as the French! And I have friends in the Netherlands who feel closer to the UK than to their neighbours in Europe, some of whom are keen supporters of the EU; perhaps it's all down to the circles we move in... :unsure: But that aside, I'll be interested to know whether you think your country really can keep defeating the sea forever and, if not, where will the people go? Your engineering has been remarkable, but I'm minded of King pansy. (The bloody stupid auto-censor has changed the name of an historical king to 'Pansy'... I wrote C N U T) [/QUOTE]
