The Gods of Mount Olympus

We're at 136m and if we don't get a handle on global warming it will soon be called Sea View.

I do hope not, I'm circa 80 metres lower than you!

If, or should that be when, all of the ice melts the seas will rise by 70m so. But don't worry even with runaway warming, say if the northern permafrost marshes melt and release all of their methane in a lump, it'll take longer than anyone who is alive now in their possible lifetime for it all to melt and I suspect other changes will be the main problem before then.

Its not just the melting - which is very bad news - but also the thermal expansion of seawater pushing levels up.

This is good fun, and quite sobering...

The benchmark carved on the front of our house is 119m. We're surrounded by hills at about 270m. Or, to be more pedantically accurate, we live on the side of a valley in an incised plain.

433ft, the highest point in the county is 738ft, not sure what the lowest is, I'd guess it must be over east somewhere.

2090ft, we live quite low down with hills all around, but nothing more than 5500ft, this big stuff is further away.
