A site showing the potential for wet feet if climate change carries on:

Put in your own criteria to see how bad it could get.
Thorne looks like it will be like the Maldives down the line.
As for Lincolnshire, well damp!

Looks like I’ll be right on the Sea Front
-
Yeah I remember being told in the late 80s that Donny would be a seaside town by 2030.
-
Looks like we going back to how it was in Roman times, The Dunn Drainage scheme amongst others hasn’t helped, those huge new fields out in between Fishlake and Moss need to be compulsory purchased and turned into Wetlands that can be flooded.
I hear that soil samples are being taken on farmland near the Humberhead peat lands if they show traces of Peat they are being compulsory purchased and greturned to Bog.

In an early ' Raise the Roof ' it was predicted that belle Vue would be underwater and the Dome would be referred to as the North Sea Nipple

Huge new fields?

And I remember being told that the next ice age was coming as well!

Not sure who told you this, but they were pulling your piece.
The UN IPCC is the authoritative body of experts on climate change. In 1990, they predicted that by 2030, sea level would rise by between 8-29cm, depending on the assumptions made, with their best estimate being 18cm. As of 2020, sea level had actually risen by 10cm, and was on track to have risen by about 15cm by 2030.
Three thoughts.
1) These experts know their shit. The predictions, broadly, are being proved right, despite the b*llocks churned out by the naysayers, paid for by the petrochemicals industry.
2) Donny was never, ever going to be a coastal town by 2030. What the models were saying is that, if the outcome was at the very worst end of the scale, there could be occasions where large amounts of the area to the east of Donny would experience severe flooding. We haven't had the worst case outcome, but we have had some tasters of the sort of flooding problems that will become worse as sea level rise continues.
3) There's absolutely no doubt that sea level will continue to rise. And here's the thing. When the problems get really bad, we'll all be dead. We'll leave our grandkids to sort out the shit that we leave them.

It was a topic covered in school geography lessons as it was a hot subject in the news along with acid rain and holes in the ozone layer.

Then your teacher was talking b*llocks

Do you know what, I can't even be arsed.

Well according to that map we already have a beach in Sprotbrough

I was living and working in the Boston area when it was flooded a few years ago . Rising sea levels are all well and good, but the tide goes out twice a day .
