Go on, have a guess.

I live 3 miles from the sea. 100 years ago this spot was 3 miles from the sea. A 100,000 years ago it was under the sea. 200,000 years ago, it was under ice and 1,000,000 years ago it was a desert.
Not trying to disprove global warming, but plate tectonics plays a huge part in this...

"Parts of north-east Norfolk and Suffolk are most immediately at risk, he said."
Where abouts are these places? If they disappear what difference does it make?
