The reality of rising seas

Posted on 25 October 2007

Remy Chevalier, good friend of GGG, has recently launched a new blog called ‘Winafish‘. I’ve been reading this blog with fascination & its definitely worth knowing about.

Remy Chevalier’s Winafish blogOn Winafish Remy highlights the inevitability of rising waters and sinking coastlines. Everyone has been talking about making changes to slow down climate change and reduce the effects of global warming. Here Remy points out that we’re well on our way to having major cities and massively populated areas go underwater and no one is prepared.

When Florida is flooded where will everyone go?

Of course Florida (and indeed other parts of the USA) are not the only vulnerable places. People all over the world will be displaced and how will we cope?

Environmental refugees are one topic to consider in this wide ranging subject - what about more pollution, health risks, further natural disasters and what will happen to the nuclear power stations on the (UK) coastlines?

Some of the statistics and quotes from experts make for the type of reading that sends chills down your spine but it is absolutely necessary to be realistic. It’s not a case of ‘if‘ it will happen but ‘when‘.
