A new study published by the UK’s Tyndall Centre at the University of East Anglia has revealed some rather startling news. Nearly 200,000 English properties are at risk of being abandoned from the 2050s due to rising sea levels. We have known for quite some time that sea level is rising. We have also begun … Read more

New Study: Sea level data confirms climate modeling projections were right. We are rapidly moving towards something between RCP4.5 and RCP8.5
Sea level rise – Danish team predict possible 1.35m rise by 2100 and highlight issues with previous modelling
We know that sea level is rising. In fact, we know that it is rising at an accelerating pace. Despite the claim from a Republican lawmaker back in 2018, it is not because rocks are falling into the sea. We also have climate models that contain projections for sea level rise for the various possible … Read more
