Do you think modern buildings last 100 years? There are plenty that have come and gone in my lifetime yet many temporary structures built during WW2 and Victorian properties are still solid.

Embankments will be built if necessary, they may choose to dam the Mersey as that would also protect Garston, Ellesmere Port, Widnes, Halewood, Mickle Trafford, Little Stanney, Stanlow, Sutton Weaver etc which are also reported as high risk before 100 years. There isn't much River Flow down the Mersey so that could be pumped out.

The bigger problem than sea levels is wave heights which are much harder to defend in immediate vicinity to the coast.

There are still a lot of things going on that are not understood, the experts are changing theorems on a regular basis, which they should, but it would be good if at least one theorem stuck around for a while.

I see the Liverpool City Region environmental plan relies quite heavily on encouraging salt marshes as a means of carbon capture to achieve Net Zero in a remarkedly short time, I can't wait to see how that pans out into reality.

Do people building as close to the Mersey and in the and in the docks as possible understand that their lower stories will very likely be underwater in 100 years?

Liverpool One. built largely on the original pool seems vulnerable and Everton's new stadium will be looking pretty soggy too.
