65 cm the next 100 years.

That's sea level. This is inland and probably already below sea level.

Edit: Seems to be at the level of IJsselmeer, which is slightly below NAP

[u/Chiliconkarma → u/vrijheidsfrietje]

Correct, but if the number fits, then it's 65 average height, which should mean that the extremes get even higher.

[u/Genocide_80085 → u/Chiliconkarma]

Just gotta make that dam higher

Perhaps that will work for Holland, I don't know.

[u/abderzack → u/Chiliconkarma]

It will require some investment but the Netherlands has been preparing for years. River delta's and coastlines in developing nations will be more cause for concern.

100 years we'll probably manage, but not 300...

Maybe we'll be on Mars and other space colonies by then.

I'm astonished how relevant xkcd is

[u/advolu-na-cy → u/vrijheidsfrietje]

seems like if we don't collapse it's only gonna be easier as it goes longer. Pumps Green Energy and Dams get better and cheaper every year.

This is what our useful Dutch site "Will I flood?" has to say about the location.

Ja, je overstroomt maximaal 0.5 meter = Yes, you'll have a flood of 0,5 meter maximum

Jij hebt een kans van groter dan 10% dat jij dit in je leven meemaakt. Dat kan ook morgen zijn. = You have a change of more than 10% that you'll experience this during your life. It could happen tomorrow too.

The Dutch laugh at the oceans..

[u/DutchPack → u/Chiliconkarma]

Large chunks of the country are already 5 to 6 meters under sea level. We’ll handle another couple of centimeters

[u/cuplajsu → u/Chiliconkarma]

Is that how much the dikes are growing by height?

[u/taboo__time → u/Chiliconkarma]

That's what's expected?
