(I have a personal bugbear about people worrying about sea level rise)
- dv_dt 3y agoYou can’t ignore that the variance and the sea level increases with climate change, especially at only 6m above.
- thfuran 3y agoAnd an island is, for practical purposes, gone well before its very highest point is below local mean sea level.
- margalabargala 3y agoThere are different sorts of rise to worry about. There's "everything is always underwater" rise, whichbis 1600 years off. Then there's "average highwater mark during a storm at high tide", which will exceed those 6m a lot sooner and is the point at which the island ceases to become at all inhabitable.
