We are already below sea level, and experts claim we can handle an additional multiple meters of sea level rise : https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2019/10/04/we-kunnen-meters-zeespi... ( Dutch )

We will be fine and there are no worries in NL except from climate alarmists.

NL dikes can handle that but wouldn't you be flooded from behind via Germany and France?

Well, in Europe rivers flow from high terrain to the sea ( low terrain ).

We are at sea. Rivers come from central Europe.

As I said, nobody worries except climate alarmist and poorly educated people.
