          The year is 21XX. Sea levels have risen three meters and are on track to rise another thirteen by 2300 after the failures of COP107. Following the inundation of the Netherlands at the turn of the century, twenty million Dutch refugees have been re-settled in the North European Federation. Meanwhile, Danish nationalists have been victorious in their independence referendum. Citing German chauvinism, many Danish nationalists place blame on the CDU for the Flooding of Copenhagen. Indeed, the CDU-SPD coalition government of 2094 refused to build seawalls in Copenhagen arguing that exorbitant prices made it unfeasible.

        I talked to a Greenlander about this once on the internet (never yet had the chance to in real life) and he said basically everyone supports it, but some people are radical "let's break away now, independence above all", and other people want a cautious approach that could take decades, figure out a stable economy first, plan carefully.
