My original post: The strange thing is that all the weight of the ice is pulling our area down. When all that ice melts our area will be lifted up. So we won't notice much difference. Edit: some facts are that the sea level at the west coast of north America has dropped and the sea level above Australia has risen. Sea levels are not as 'level' as you might think. By the way: I'm not saying we should not worry and nothing is going on.
After looking more into it I must say the above is not true. Our area is just outside the 'dent' of weight of the ice. So our area is likely to go down a little when the ice melts.
It has more to do with the gravitational force of the ice mass. In our area the ice is pulling the sea towards it so the sea levels are higher. When this mass melts the sea levels in our area will go down.

#3Am I the only one who gets angry at stupid "mood setting" in such articles? It leads with the picture of an abandoned settlement that has turned to marshland, only to reveal that it was deliberately given over to the sea.
Why should I read on after they wasted my time with that imagery?
As for Netherlands being flooded, I suppose that threat has existed since the early day of its existence.

This is the first time I hear about this. Do you have a source for it?

Eustatic change is much faster than isostatic change though. In a few thousand years you might be alright but you'd have been wet for millennia.

#8Netherlands has been dealing with flooding even before the US existed. I think they will be fine.

#9Hej, kollade på din historik och utgår från ditt användarnamn att du är en landsfrände. Du verkar vara arg på saker. Mår du verkligen bra? Ska du verkligen vara ute på internet och skriva om de saker som gör dig arg?

Yeah, but that is one glorious millennia of getting to ignore climate change and keep burning dinosaurs like it's no tomorrow! Wroom!
