Nickbat, whilst I enjoy a laugh as much as the next man, I'm beginning to think you really believe all this climate change scepticism :-? :-?
you'll be buying a house in a flood plain next - should be alright what with the Thames Barrier........hang on a second how much did that cost and we don't even need it!!!!! this is outrageous!!! 
The Barrier was built due because the South East is slowly sinking while the North is rising...all due to isostatic rebound. Additionally, there have been in the past, occasional storm surges caused by deep cyclones tracking (unpredictably) across the Netherlands, sometimes concurrent with spring tides, hence the tragedy at Sea Palling on 31 January 1953.
You really don't know much about this subject, do you?
it was built to cope with continuing and projected sea level rises to the middle of this century but whatever works for you, if sea levels were falling and therefore damaging storm surges were less frequent the barrier wouldn't have been commissioned. 8-)
theres no arguing with you is there? they built the Thames Barrier because the south of Britain is sinking?
you know the rate its sinking at? you're worried about 1 or 2mm
a year but not rising sea levels - where do you get this stuff?
