On the other hand phasing out the existing nuclear in favour of natural gas doesn't seem to solve the problem either.

If you add CCS to the natural gas it would. And that would likely be cheaper than nuclear.

At this point, it seems really unlikely we will "solve" the problem. I suspect we will go with flood defences, water management projects and geo-engineering.

So I think it's safest to take the cheapest option. Right now, that seems to be green energy (wind and solar) plus some gas power to deal with intermittent supply.
