A report from the European Environment Agency in 2005 suggests that 13 million people in Europe would be severely affected by a one meter rise in sea level. Property worth $600 billion would be destroyed. Holland would be the most affected. In Britain the cities of Hull and Portsmouth could not be protected.

The pitch of your roof is 3 degrees how much does it rise over a meter?

To calculate the rise of a roof with a 3-degree pitch over a meter, you can use the tangent function in trigonometry. The rise is equal to the tangent of the angle multiplied by the run (distance), which in this case is 1 meter. Therefore, the rise is approximately ( \tan(3^\circ) \times 1 \text{ meter} ), which is about 0.0524 meters, or approximately 5.24 centimeters.
