and «Where was all the water going to come from» so I decided to have a go and try to work out how much water would be needed to allow the World Ocean to rise by just 1 meter, there are two variables that I can not solve, 1 is that the world is curved so as you go up then you need more water for the next meter than you needed for the preceding meter and this is an exponential issue as it gets worse the higher you go, the other is that even though there are many areas where you could get a large rise without any inland flooding, like the «White Cliffs of Dover» then there are also many areas where there would be massive inland flooding, like Holland, so I had to make two assumptions to kill off two variable issues that I can not solve, so assuming that the world is flat, which it's not, and that there would be no inland flooding, and there will be massive inland flooding then using them then I got an answer.
