I mean it’s been working pretty well so far, it would seem.

  Except floods do happen, and are going to happpen more due to global warming, and the prognosis is that half the country is under water by 2100 (I live about -5 NAP myself).

    Right, but the Dutch are probably the best poised to deal with it because it has been happening long before global climate change.

      This one is a different beast. Our governments have been ignoring it until now (new government in 2022) but I doubt its going to be enough, we cannot deal with this problem on a national level. If a country like China slacks with this, we get hosed.

        Not really. I’m saying the Dutch are probably the best prepared to deal with the worst case of continuing climate change at the current rate (assuming China, India, US don’t do anything).
