Holland is screwed, as are many of the port cities around Europe. 3 Meter sea level rises will displace around a billion people worldwide (enfo office in Dublin). This has to have a huge effect on the economies of the first world, not to mention their security.Anyway, the most pessimistic predictions of sea-levels predict a ten foot rise over something like a century: how many European cities will be 'sunk beneath the sea' by that? Two?
This is surely a wind up, purple. Let's see, the GS melts the PIC, the cold waters flow down (after all the North Pole is higher up than us) and gives us the Siberian brass monkeys. At least one thing doesn't gel here. The coldest that water can be is zero but temps in Siberia fall to minus forty.As for Britain getting a Siberian type climate; this would/will happen when sea temperatures rise causing the Gulf Stream to move northwards. This will result in the warm waters melting the polar ice caps. That cold water will then run down through the north sea and cause average temperatures in Britain and Ireland in particular and northern Europe in general to drop by an average of a couple of degrees a year.
