#3 The obvious solution is to slowly and methodically build a permanent sea wall, like in the Netherlands. Optimally, there are several advantages to doing this. The first is to design a wall that can be improved over time--larger and taller. Then you build secondary sea walls to actually reclaim land from the sea--also acting as "area surge barriers", for agriculture or other low human density projects. Between the two, even a tidal wave would be hard pressed to flood the main country.

#5 Ooooh yummy! Fresh oysters in "New Venice" (formerly Brussels) in the year 3000! I can hardly wait. More Greenpeace money well spent.

What a waste of "experts." As they say over at Fark: "...and still no cure for cancer."

#6 Mmmmmm suikerwafels...

So plant more trees to soak up the CO2: evergreens on the north side - to block the wind - deciduous species on the south - to let the sun warm them in winter (and mangroves along the coast, perhaps?). Once upon a time all of northern Europe was forest and swamp, and we didn't hear whining about global warming then, did we!

Oh, yes, and turn down the sun -- it hasn't been this excited in 1000 years.

#7 Trailing Wife, planting trees will take to long. I recommend a moratorium on mowing grass.
