> A 475-km-long dam between the north of Scotland and the west of Norway and another one of 160 km between the west point of France and the southwest of England could protect more than 25 million Europeans against the consequences of an expected sea level rise of several metres over the next few centuries

“Ah, sure fuck Ireland (and the west coast of the UK) anyway”



475? Sounds too short for the distance


What would this do to Ireland?


Nothing, it would be to the west of the dams and thus not protected by them (in other words, fscked).
