all, and making Britain an island.
Ironically, the reason we have such a good understanding of this geological process is due to the scientific research that was carried out when Britain decided to link itself back to Europe, by constructing the Channel Tunnel. This research enabled the accurate dating of the two mega-floods, and it revealed the routes taken by the water flows. It is possible that the whole cycle could repeat itself at some stage in the future, and bearing in mind that the Channel is only about 60 metres deep, a drop in levels caused by global cooling of more than that would reverse the original Brexit, without even the need for a referendum. However, global cooling seems to be an even more unlikely scenario than the “Leavers” and the “Remainers” coming to an amicable agreement. Rising sea levels are the order of the day, and as levels creep up, Britain will become ever more separated from the rest of the World.
