In the Netherlands it's easier to list the places that are above sea level than the ones that are below it.I currently am 6 meters below sealevel.![]()
I live more or less 200m above sea level but nearby there's a mountain with an altitude of roughly 650m that has lots of fossilized seashells and prehistorical sea creatures, which means this place was covered in water millions of years ago. At the rate the climate is changing, if nothing is done to reverse some of those changes, it won't take that long for the sea to get here again.Looks like Vietnam ( too ) will have to spend a lot of money on flood control in the future, this matter of the weather is only going to get worse.
So ignoring it will be a major mistake by leaders.
Even up here in the far North we see more and more flooding situations every year, but off course not on the scale you have down there.
I live +60 M above sea level, even more if you add the fact that i have a 2 floor apartment, and i do all my shopping at the same altitude, so i am safe until all the ice on the globe have melted.
By then Denmark will be a really really small country and most of it will be parts of Jutland where i live.

Amazing intellect being wasted on a dash cam forumWell yes, of course. It is one thing for a brilliant scientist and engineer to predict a technology 90 years into the future, but essentially no one, however brilliant, can ever predict the future consequences to mankind of a totally disruptive technology.
Similar things could be said of electricity, radio, television or the discovery of fire.
That's not how geology works. Mountain ranges are created when tectonic plates collide, with them either pushing one plate up, or causing both sides to thicken. There are also volcanic mountains created through faults in the plate.I live more or less 200m above sea level but nearby there's a mountain with an altitude of roughly 650m that has lots of fossilized seashells and prehistorical sea creatures, which means this place was covered in water millions of years ago.

Well the largest river here run thru my home town, but that's down at sea level so it would take biblical amounts of water to present any problem for me.
Even with all ice melting all over the place i would be safe, that is if all the Dutch flood refugees haven't kicked me out of my apartment by that time.![]()
No i think i follow you just fine Dash, and i can surely see the problem.
But here that's not a issue, not even on the mid Jutland "ridge" where a few of our big rivers start their run, and that's so meagre starts a couple of thirsty ppl could outdrink the flow of water out of the ground.
Where our biggest river start you can walk across it with dry socks wearing sneakers.

I cant recall any Danish river overflowing, but it might happen off course but on a Danish scale, meaning 1 highway might be flooded, and some farmer have to bring in his cows from the pasture they was on.
I do wish i lived in a area like that, but not right on the river, i don't mind if i had to walk a mile or 2 before i was able to use my fly rod.
It seem like what get flooded here most often is parts of our capitol Copenhagen, and i always say its god trying to wipe that evil town off the map, and when he finally tried to do it right he overshot with what became the Tjeljabinsk- event![]()
