good one!

Speaking of sea levels rising, use this to find out at what point you'd be under water:

Canute was actually pretty badass, not deluded and was demonstrating that there were some things that he did not have control over.

This just demonstrates that climate skepticism is not just about debate for debate's sake, laws like this do harm.

Debate about climate change is all very well but its a shame the individuals that lobbied for this can't be held accountable for the damage that this will obviously cause.

Do you have a referance to an actual scientific paper which says that a 1m sea level rise is on the cards?

We propose a simple relationship linking global sea-level variations
on time scales of decades to centuries to global mean
temperature. This relationship is tested on synthetic data from a
global climate model for the past millennium and the next century.
When applied to observed data of sea level and temperature for
1880–2000, and taking into account known anthropogenic hydrologic
contributions to sea level, the correlation is >0.99, explaining
98% of the variance. For future global temperature scenarios of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment
Report, the relationship projects a sea-level rise ranging from 75 to
190 cm for the period 1990–2100.

One that touches on the local difference in sea level rise from the average.

This international scientific assessment has been carried out at the request of the
Dutch Delta Committee. The Committee requested that the assessment explore
the high-end climate change scenarios for flood protection of the Netherlands. It
is a state-of–the art scientific assessment of the upper bound values and longer
term projections (for sea level rise up to 2200) of climate induced sea level rise,
changing storm surge conditions and peak discharge of river Rhine. It comprises
a review of recent studies, model projections and expert opinions of more than
20 leading climate scientists from different countries around the North Sea,
Australia and the USA. Although building on the previous IPCC AR4 (2007) and
KNMI (2006) assessments, this report deliberately explores low probability/high
impact scenarios, which will pose significant threats to the safety of people and
infrastructure and capital invested below sea level. According to its high-end
estimates global mean sea level may rise in the range of 0.55 - 1.10 m in 2100
and 1.5 - 3.5 m in 2200, when higher temperature rise scenarios (up to 6 °C by
2100) and increased ice discharge from Antarctica are considered. This would
correspond with local sea levels along the coast of the Netherlands of up to
maximally 1.20 m in 2100 and 4 m in 2200. An increase in peak discharge of
river Rhine of 3 to 19% for 2050 and 6 to 38% for 2100 is foreseen. The storm
regime along the Dutch North Sea coast in terms of maximum surge level will
probably not change significantly in this extreme climate change frame.

and the dutch are already below sea level so they are not going to accept hype... you can be sure they are taking their study seriously.

It is now an established fact that only 10 000 years ago, the global sea level rose a few hundred feet creating the ocean separating Antarctica and Australia (and New Guinea, New Zealand, Tasmania).
