Perhaps we had better start talking to the Dutch about this, especially where our nuclear power stations are concerned. Dungeness and Sizewell are particularly vulnerable followed by the two on the Seven estuary.

It's not long ago that people were saying that we wouldn't have any major sea level rise this century. Funny how these things change quite quickly.
