I was not referring to continental drift (why bring that in), but to the position of glaciers,
and where the water will be.
If you studied the past of the Netherlands, you would know that it was largely water,
and large parts of it are now 'polders', where water was only a few hundred years ago.
These days they are 'giving back areas to the water', as a safety basin to prevent
flooding via the rivers elsewhere.
But the glaciers, those will further retreat from Europe, and north of America,
only to come back then later, in thousands of years cycles.

You really are beginning to sound like an idiot nut case.
After all the case I made here for nuclear power.
Just admit you have no clue and are wrong.

Conspiracy theory heaven?

Who goes on about Exon-Mobil, big oil and coal? Who keeps calling
people shills of big oil?

But hey since you are in to conspiracy theories explain this:

Not so much water as swamp. The polders are now below sea level
because the land dried out after it was empoldered, and shrank.

Very sensible, even if the farmers hate it.

Since we've messed up the positive feedback that drove that cycle and
added more than enough CO2 and methane to the atmosphere, the glacier
aren't going to be coming back any time soon.

The shapes and locations ofof the continents will still be pretty much
the same. I doubt if the world will look that different.

Google writes a tracking cookie to your computer whenever you do a

Sorry. That is insensible non-thinking, otherwise known as wishful
thinking. I think you'd better think it out again, after you've
learned a bit more about greenhouse gases and how they work.
