The Greenland part doesn't make sense because the elevation is only high right now because of all the ice cap. If the sea level were to rise by 100 metres, it would turn into an archipelago with much of the middle part submerging.

A similar scenario plays out in the Star Trek: Deep Space 9 episode “Our Man, Bashir”. Dr. Bashir is running a spy holonovel where the villain, Hippocrates Noah, plans to flood the entire Earth except for his retreat on Mount Everest, where he has gathered the greatest scientists & artists from around the world. Strategically positioning powerful lasers at various locations, Noah planned to use them on the surface, producing massive fissures in the Earth's crust that would release millions of tons of molten lava. The end result would be a significant reduction in the surface area of the planet - "like letting air out of a balloon," as he described it - causing massive flooding.

There'll be lots of little islands in the UK, particularly in Scotland. In Scotland they are grouped by height and any mountain over 2500 feet is called a Corbet; any mountain in Scotland over 3000 feet is called a Munro. Munro Bagging is a popular hobby and there are currently about 282 of them. 1000m is 3280 feet so many will still exist as will other peaks in the UK over that height. Unfortunately all the smaller Corbets will disappear. Sorry about that. Try Porridge instead :)

[@cadfael4598]

Plus, you’d have to account for isostatic rebound which would make Antarctica a bit bigger. A lot of Greenland is currently below Sea Level, so rebound would definitely make a difference there!

[@raymondgough6070]

If you're interested in how this might play out... The Flood is a science fiction novel written by Stephen Baxter, published in 2008. It is part of a duology, followed by Ark (2009). The book explores a near-future world where catastrophic sea level rise occurs. The story spans several decades and focuses on a group of characters who witness the gradual submergence of the Earth under water. The central plot revolves around the discovery that underground reservoirs of water, previously unknown to humanity, are rapidly being released. This leads to a relentless rise in sea levels that soon overwhelms the continents, causing societal collapse, mass migrations, and widespread panic as humanity struggles to survive the ever-encroaching floodwaters. Baxter's narrative combines personal stories of survival with broader political, social, and environmental themes. The characters are faced with not only the physical threat of the flood but also the psychological toll of losing their world and watching civilization collapse. The novel explores themes such as human resilience, the fragility of civilisation, the consequences of environmental degradation, and the limits of scientific understanding. Baxter’s detailed approach to science and technology, combined with the emotional journeys of the characters, makes The Flood a gripping and thought-provoking speculative fiction. In Ark, the follow-up, Baxter continues the story by focusing on humanity's attempts to escape the Earth and colonize space as the floodwaters render the planet uninhabitable.

I'm no expert in this field, but I think if you do the calculations you will find there is simply not enough water or ice in the world for sea levels to rise 1,000m . A 60m rise maybe or perhaps even 100m but not 1,000. If anyone has more info on this, please enlighten us further.

@@Amartin1947 actually, if carbon dioxide levels rise to what they were in the distant past, during the age of the dinosaurs places like the Sahara would become a savannah once again. Hot air holds more moisture, and vice versa for cold air. In an ice age climate deserts are much bigger due to all the moisture being captured in the ice caps as was the case 20,000 to 35,000 years ago. We only need this net zero to make it easier for us humans and mammals to survive, as much of our evolution took place during relatively cold periods.

A1000m rise in sea Even is highly unlikely but major seal level rise above that of ice melting is possible if there was a substantial increase in plate spreading……the mid-ocean ridges are hot and more buoyant than the basins either side which sink as they cool. Therefore a lot of plate tectonic activity with high rates, such as the break up,of Gondwanaland, could cause major SL rise. This is one reason sea levels were so high. In the Cretaceous
