Flooding is REALLY happening - against George W. Bush's perception. Check
"DVR90" in google, and "history", and you will come to sites that explain
why Denmark decided to change its nationwide triangulation system, away from
a fix zero level (by convention in Esbjerg harbour) to a flexible zero level
(determined as the average of 10 levels along Denmark's coastline over the
past 100 years). This was because sea has risen by 14.6 cm between 1990 and
2002, at least in Esbjerg harbour.
Sea may rise, but it will NOT suffice to drown America.

In such big flooding, wouldn't much of Europe
disappear too?
Yikes!
And I have quite a few more tripoints still to visit!
