No, I don't think there is a reason to switch.

This is not exactly news for people living in this area, you would have learned it at school.

There is a vast area between Denmark and UK called Doggerland where fishermen constantly being up mamooth tusks and stone age artifacts.

Doggerland is on the other side of Jutland. Aarhus is east.

Anecdotally I was not tought about Doggerland, and I don’t think it’s common knowledge.

I don't think most people realize just how much of ancient civilization is now under water. The oceans rose 120 meters since 10,000 years ago.

I've always dreamed of making a tool to help visualize this. It would likely be very dramatic.

Kids in Germany learn about the evolution of the Baltic Sea, it is hard to believe how different the whole area was like during and after the last ice age: https://www.geomar.de/en/discover/the-origin-of-the-baltic-s...

Current global warming prediction that I could find was 10m by 2300 if the ice shelves melt.

Much evidence of hunter gather population for tens of thousands of years before the arrival of "civilization", by boat, after it was submerged.
