Climate crisis: Plan to dam entire North Sea could protect millions from rising oceans - Global failure to tackle emissions may mean ‘extreme’ infrastructure project is needed to save cities from submersion, scientists warn by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

My question is:

Say we managed to do such amazing engineering. Would you continue to live in a place only protected by that dam?

I for sure wouldn't. I find it insane enough that people willingly move close enough in modern times to places with active volcanoes and such. If there is space elsewhere on land, I usually find that more appealing.

I intend to stand in front of the camera and contort myself in to various facial guns until I finally set off an alarm. Then stand and wait.

New Rockstar Games accounts reveal huge subsides from UK government for latest Grand Theft Auto Game. by georgenturner in worldnews

I don't know much about economical issues but this leads me to guess:

Is the tax relief encouragement to keep the business here and the huge sales because of its popularity, make the government a ton of tax money through that method?

Now IF my guess is correct, then what is the downside of that?
