Information here may be outdated?
If the rate of increase stays at 2.5mm/annum it will only be 3.5 million years before Everest is under water. What to do? What to do?
I refer you to my links on sea level rise in the earlier thread 'Nope, Earth Isn't Cooling'.

links conclude that sea level rise is not linked to CO2 in the atmosphere. Even the IPCC say so, so it must be true!
Loads more scepticism from WUWT on rising sea levels, here

Trust you caught the guy on Any Answers who thought all this extra rain was water produced directly by the burning of natural gas.
Our best advice may come from those before us, say, 20,000 years back when the seas were 400ft lower. They might advise us to climb 400ft higher.
Now I realise that we are survivors of such, several times over, I think I will stop worrying about 3mm.
Given there is much evidence that UK area was once tropical, it really shouldn't be a surprise it could be so again.
...Ray.
Well, live on pontoons obviously.
If I recall, the Gerry Anderson series Stingray had a very small part of the planet occupied by humans in a place called Marineville and it seemed other creatures with intelligence had evolved to live below the waves and were forever causing havoc, when it appeared all the residents of marine World wanted to do was party grin.

By which time we will be far removed from France, physically, because of tectonic plate movements.
Hope they used elastic concrete to line the Chunnel.
Isn't some of the UK land mass still rising as a result if the weight of ice from the last ice age being removed?
Yes

Yes. The north of Scotland is tipping up.
And that is tipping the SE into the drink, IIRC.
when will it do a complete flip over?
ISTR hearing it's hard to know unless one takes an interest in local affairs and goes to look at the planning charts and demolition orders on display in your local planning department.
Any time soon. It's caused by global warming and CO2! We have 18 months to save the world. Big Ears says so, so it must be right.
I don't live at the top of everest and I wanted to know when I'd be under water.

Around 11,000 years ago (often reffered to as the Biblical flood) sea levels rose by about 400 ft.
Tim Streater has brought this to us :
Its the population density darn south, which is causing it to tip lol
Yeah we've just managed to tip the scales of the northern deep fat fried pizza & mars bar eaters, who's only excercise is chasing haggis's around a mountain for sport !
Surely not, Essex is full of air heads.

for the UK being flipped I thought one would need the planning department in Alpha Centauri
