- Someone 6y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_European_Enclosure_Dam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_European_Enclosure_Da...: “The Northern European Enclosure Dam (NEED) is a proposed solution to the problem of rising ocean levels in Northern Europe. It would be a megaproject, involving the construction of two massive dams in the English Channel and the North Sea; the former between France and England, and the latter between Scotland and Norway.” The authors know that plan is ‘a bit’ ambitious, though. That page continues: “The concept was conceived by the oceanographers Sjoerd Groeskamp and Joakim Kjellsson. As of 2020, the scheme is largely a thought experiment intended to demonstrate the extreme cost of engineered solutions to the effects of climate change.”
