Ocean Rise And The Ceiling

-
Norway’s Incredible Ship Tunnel Plan Is Back On Track
-
-
Norway's ambitious Stad Ship Tunnel will provide cargo and passenger vessels with a safe and efficient route through one of the most challenging stretches of the Norwegian coastline.
-
The Stad peninsula projects into the Norwegian Sea, creating treacherous conditions for maritime traffic due to its relentless weather and unpredictable currents. Norway's innovative response? Carve a mile-long tunnel directly through the peninsula.

It’s interesting that Norway has such a bipolar view of climate and ocean rise.
Norway is a Major developer of oil and natural gas while priding herself in renewable energy utilization while hawking the Gore-line.
Apparently Norwegian oil and gas doesn't result in CO2.
-
A key decision for this Stad ship tunnel will be: ‘how high to make the tunnel ceiling for ship clearance’!
Given the focus on sea-level rise due to CO2 global warming:  How high before the ship-tunnel is unusable?

The Danish-Swedish tunnel has similar limits and based on its design it's sea-level-life may be very short -- or maybe not!
