That isn't the best answer you could have given, Andrew.
The mitigations will be necessary whatever we do with carbon. The engine is rolling and there's no cut-off button.
On the matter of other countries, this is a shit-or-bust situation for each coastal nation. And not just coastal nations - i might find time to research this further - but if the Baltic rises 2m, then Poland as far as Katowice would be under water. If you dig into the ground in Warsaw, it's sand when you're just a few cm down and the country is flat from the Baltic southward.
