Basically it’s a 1% chance of occurring each year, so although it’s unlikely, it could happen every year, because each year is still 1%.
The sea wall that was built around the Fukushima nuclear reactor was built to withstand all previous waves on record, but sometimes unprecedented things happen.
So few of these, I would be less worried of long term sea rise..still non existent than storm surges and tsunamis which will definitively happen one day, but that is a great way of thinking.
Are there any articles on it?So few of these, I would be less worried of long term sea rise..still non existent than storm surges and tsunamis which will definitively happen one day, but that is a great way of thinking.
Here on the sunny coast council, the teal brainless council is actually breaking the advances of the past century by letting the salt water back in, destroying crop...happy to create mosquito breeding grounds..probably willing to bring back malaria to ensure biodiversity
Ok let me search

Note I quote ABC which as you can imagine is presenting a very biased view.Removing tidal gates..so ensuring flooding of arable land during king tides etc...
Farmers protest '$35 million swamp' as authorities progress controversial flood plan
Farmers and landowners claim a major local, state, and federal government project aimed at reducing flood risks could kill crops and breed swarms of mosquitoes spreading Ross River fever.
Then we will see images of dead trees with headlines of: rising seas and climate change killing coastal wetland and harvests..
So am I cynical, biased or just able to use my brain.......
Exactly. I think your cynicism is well founded.Removing tidal gates..so ensuring flooding of arable land during king tides etc...Farmers protest '$35 million swamp' as authorities progress controversial flood plan

Blade runner is not fiction 
All scientists that know what they are talking about accept that its been both hotter and colder before, But what is you point?
1. yeah, that is true, a lot of people do think that way.

You understand they are actually removing the sea wall equivalent of your own project?Looking at the website.
Massive $500 mil funding from state government who will get back $800 million in carbon contracts. So a financial win for them there.
Helps upstream for the flood impacts but as you say will lead to more flooding within the basin and destruction of farmland.
Also saves on costly infrastructure like walls and dykes.
And finally helps biodiversity and creates a tourism hotspot which obviously makes money also.
They are making a bomb so need to give compensation to the farmers affected. They say the farmers can use their land for different purposes but I fully understand their unhappiness as plenty of risk.
Thanks, interesting.

Which sea wall are they removing?
Australia is now seeing Apartment blocks as the future of housing inside the major metropolitan area. Unfortunately there are two very substantial problems hurting apartment buyers
1) Widespread poor quality builds that are costing owners a fortune to remediate
2) A Strata Title Management system that has been rorted by professional managers and costing owners far more than is necessary.
The ABC blew the whistle on the management of Strata Titles a couple of weeks ago. They then invited the public to forward evidnece of problems they are facing. The response has been overwhelming.
This story is worth reading in full. I have cited a small portion.
Exorbitant fees and undisclosed kickbacks: Inside the poorly regulated strata management industry
......Evidence of the trouble is in the deluge of responses received by the ABC thus far.
In the less than two weeks since we published our findings about Netstrata, we have received more than 1,000 separate reports about suspect activities by a wide sweep of strata management companies. Practically all of the complaints appear to be credible and well-documented. Several have been lodged by people with intimate knowledge of how the industry operates.
Some of the experiences being described are simply dreadful. Extraordinary self-dealing by strata management companies, using subsidiary and associate outfits in defiance of the wishes of their owners corporations. Refusals of strata managers to abide by a termination of their contract and their ongoing extraction of management fees. The failure to return the assets and records of buildings, and the disappearance of trust funds. Police having to be called to AGM meetings.
Most concerning, perhaps, are the persistent reports that some strata managers have protected property developers from building defect warranty claims. What is being alleged is an arrangement by which a strata management firm is appointed to oversee a new building while the developer still owns a sufficient number of units in the complex to control the owners' corporation — the strata manager gains a lucrative new building management contract, and, in return, it dissuades owners from lodging claims against the builder.
Many people are also deeply upset by the ABC’s revelations concerning strata insurance.
We discovered Netstrata had been using a wholly-owned subsidiary to charge insurance broking fees at inflated rates. These fees had not been routinely disclosed to owners but had reached as high as 64 per cent of the base premium, when brokers would commonly charge between 5 and 15 per cent, and sometimes 20 per cent.
We asked for stories about strata management. The deluge of responses describes an industry rife with suspect practices
Many strata managers know that in the long absence of proper regulation by government, the industry has become addicted to the routine exploitation of apartment owners and the easy profits that flow as a result.
Knobby had a project where they built a sea wall for risk mgt.
Hey, follow the money.
I watched the video, it sounds like they aren’t removing the gates, the gates are just deteriorating because the sugar cane farms are gone, it sounds like they are on private land.
