It’s amazing that just 10k years ago England was part of continental Europe… I wonder if people back then were worried about climate change too.

  Well, they lost their land bridge. At some point they had to say farewell to their relatives across the water. It probably didn't happen all at once. It just got harder every year to make it across. Then one year, that low low tide, didn't happen. Makes you imagine all sorts of adventures and stories related to 'the crossing'.

    Absolutely. Sounds like great material for a novel.

    It's hard to say whether this or the more recent Brexit was the more damaging.
