Let me also add that the dutch have been able to handle it for several
100s of years, so there absolutely nothing to be worried about. It is
natural, and we can handle it perfectly.

Neal Stephenson's novel 'Termination Shock' is complex like many of his
books. The base theme is in any geoengineering attempt to mitigate climate
change there will be winners and loser. What seems like a good idea for
one area might cause the Indian monsoons to fail.

A main character is the queen of Netherlands who tries to travel around
incognito and one of the events in a North Sea tsunami when the
Maeslantkering fails.

It doesn't get the best reviews. It's 700 pages with many threads. Some
are offended by hints the Greens couldn't fix their eBike, let alone the
climate.

The reviews aren't as bad as those for his latest, 'Polostan'. It too is
convoluted but what really set people off is it is the first in a series
and ends abruptly. A lot of indie authors do that but each book is under
$5 or generally free to read with KindleUnlimited, not $15 for the kindle
version. I guess he's working on his retirement plan.
