#coastal flooding

7 metres you say? Size matters.

“Greenland’s past, preserved in 12 feet of frozen soil, suggests a warm, wet, and largely ice-free future for planet Earth.”

Time to pull up the spikes and move to higher ground.

Mangroves and salt marshes help shield the 60% of the world’s population that live along our coasts from the impacts of coastal flooding. Inland, how many gallons of floodwater can a single acre of wetland absorb?

15 thousand

150 thousand

1.5 million

Floridians are less worried about hurricanes 🌀 than most people are. We been here before lol just have to figure it out when the time comes. I just hope I’m not having to file a claim on my roof when this shit is over.

my stupidest theory by far is that sendecane isn't actually catastrophically cursed. like it's cursed and it's bad but it's not insurmountable. i think most of sendecane is desert anyway but finnikin doesn't know what that is because he's fantasy-french

Some people are more vulnerable to climate impacts than others. Developing countries and communities are often the hardest hit. Many already experience devastating destruction caused by climate change. For example, 2022’s summer of disasters saw Pakistan’s flooding killing thousands and leaving millions without a home. Droughts in Somalia and Ethiopia caused food and water shortages, leaving many people facing hunger and famine. Sudden extreme weather events aren’t the only threat. Climate impacts happen slowly too, but the results can still be devastating. Changes to weather patterns means it becomes harder for communities to count on rains coming to grow crops. And rising sea levels mean thousands in coastal communities risk permanently losing their homes, as huge areas of land go underwater. None of this is a far-flung future; loss and damage is happening now.

Thornham Salt Marshes Norfolk by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Located on the north coast of Norfolk, between the villages of Titchwell and Thornham, you’ll find one of the best places in Norfolk to see avocets - and it’s rather appropriate that the bird is the emblem of the RSPB, as this is a birdwatcher’s paradise. It’s not too bad for lovers of natural beauty either. The area’s stunning beach, reedbeds, saltmarshes and freshwater lagoons offer some of the most picturesque views in the entire country, but they also offer a diverse range of habitats for huge numbers of birds all year round.
