Climate change effect on Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands and Belgium if warming eventually melts Antarctic ice showing the spread of the Baltic and the North sea inland

These maps show how areas that the sea would cover if all the Antarctic ice eventually melts raising the sea level by 68 metres in total. If the Greenland ice melts, the sea will rise by 7 metres. The greatest risk is that the west part of the antarctic is breaking up which could cause a sea level rise of four meters by the end of the century which threatens to drown coastal towns and there will be more hurricanes, tornados, flooding, severe storm weather, spread of deserts and widespread droughts.

The light blue area indicates land which would be flooded.

Wind power meets 20% of Denmark's needs.

France power generation in 2008 75% nuclear, 14% hydro 9% fossil.

Germanys installed wind capacity 28GW onshore, 21 GW nuclear (to be shut down by 2021, solar capacity 3800MW.

Spains generation is 13% wind, 10% hydro,2.5% solar and 21 % nuclear.
