UK: TO BE OR NOT TO BE...

Abstract

Great Britain: to be or not to be ... From ancient times to the present day, Great Britain is associated with a large number of myths and legends. But if earlier they belonged to the history of the country, now they belong to climatic disasters. It is assumed that this is due to the warm current of the Gulf Stream, which "warms" the UK and Europe. It may stop or weaken. Scientists believe that the main reason for future flooding is the melting of the Arctic ice and the changing climate of the Earth due to rising temperatures. According to Jean Pascal Ypersel, vice-president of the Interstate Commission on Climate Change, London, Antwerp, Copenhagen, Rotterdam, Amsterdam could be swallowed up by the world's oceans, and the middle of this century will be the turning point of huge global catastrophes. Over the past 250 years, the UK has experienced many storms and rain. This determines the relevance of the selected study. The object of the study is the British Isles and the search for reasons that may lead to changes on the world map. Having studied the opinions and hypotheses of scientists on this issue, I found out how Great Britain was formed; possible global changes.
