If the sea rose just 100 metres - pink areas would disappear!

Bye-bye Reading! And Leeds a seaside resort!!!

SNP would wet theirselves if it happened, and I don't mean with seawater

Sorry but I think you went a bit too far, i've seen figures for a 60m rise if we melt all of the ice caps and glaciers, loads oftalk about 10m in the next five years from the current rate of melt.

Leeds a seaside resort ..... Bring it on I say.

Since 1930 the average sea level increase is under 2mm, last 10 years its increased to 2.6mm so think its 10mm not 10m we are talking in next 5 years.
Long term prediction varies between 50cm & 1.5m by year 2100.

Rothwell by the sea, has a nice ring to it.

A rubber ring probably...

Yes, I think the metric system is the problem. 100m rise is over 300ft!!! Haven't tried it but they do say that if you put some ice cubes in a glass of water, after the cubes have melted the water level doesn't change.

100 metres does seem a little excessive. I live near the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol. It is just over 100 metres from the high water mark of the River Avon and the bridge.
