Since parts of Northern Europe still experiences Post-glacial rebound and will rise faster than the expected rise of the ocean level I find this project unnecessary. (I am still a sucker for megaprojects though)
- Someone 4y agoOn the other hand, parts of Western Europe also still experience Post-glacial rebound and will drop, increasing the effects of rising sea levels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound#Vertical_crustal_motion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound#Vertical_...: “the post-glacial rebound of northern Great Britain (up to 10 cm per century) is causing a corresponding downward movement of the southern half of the island (up to 5 cm per century)” IIRC, the Low Countries also are sinking because of post-glacial rebound.
