On past records we should expect the start of the next Ice Age - in my
humble estimation it's a likely as man-made global warming.

In that case I'll buy a new winter coat!
There's no question but that the weather paterns are changing and that
sea levels are rising - by the time it's proved that the cause is
man-made (or not) you Brits are going to be major consumers of snorkels!

Too true, but the changes over the last 2 million have not been great
enough to wipe us out.
Not to worry, it's only the low lying countries likely to disappear in
my lifetime.

Assuming thats the potential to wipe us out - we are different now. Should I
consult a text book to check when the last ice age receded as far as Britain
is concerned. Fairly sure its less than 2 million years ago.
Of course you may have a different definition of 'us'.

LOL - but FFS don't say that, I've just bought another home within three-quarters of a mile of the Humber Estuary and on its flood plain! Could be worse, could have bought in Gloucester!

I'm not here to argue climate change - it's happening and it's happening
much faster than it's happened in the past. If it's being caused by
humanity then by the time we prove that cause it will be too late to
stop that change.

Well, I don't know one way or the other, but I'm sufficiently convinced
as to buy my current home well away from the seaside. If the scientists
(95% of them) are right I'll have to cope with damp seasiders looking
for shelter, if they're wrong I've bought in an area that has strong
tourist potential for those who don't like sand in their togs.

If it's being caused by But until you are reasonably certain about the previous bit this isnt even relevent.

On the positive side there is a RNLI lifeboat moored permanently in the
Humber Estuary. You are also within easy walking distance of Trinity House.

Its neither pro nor anti the GW argument (he believes it is an issue, for
the record) , but makes some interesting points about the stampede to have
it as the highest priority. - posted 14 years ago

It's 25 miles plus to the lifeboat station on Spurn Point and a crossing of the estuary and at least a 7 mile walk to Trinity House.
The inshore inflatable life-raft is nearer - last seen evacuating flood victims from the centre of Anlaby.
