Worked on a project and a serious amount of money was spent on the sea wall to protect from expected future rises in sea levels.
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.

its kinda a flaw us humans have, we believe because something has never happened before that it won’t 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.
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
 
Are there any articles on it?
Sounds interesting.

Removing tidal gates..so ensuring flooding of arable land during king tides etc...
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.......
 
Note I quote ABC which as you can imagine is presenting a very biased view.
Greens destroying the west bit by bit
 
Exactly. I think your cynicism is well founded.

I have other suspicions asking the same lines, but can't prove it at this stage.

you are right but even when it has happened before, if it does not suit the current ideology it gets ignored.

Geological records clearly show that climate warming and cooling have happened before, yet the activists will not accept that it has been hotter and colder with more co2 and less co2

Utopian dreams are very popular in echo chambers
 
That Hivemind utopia doesnt let the truth get in the way of a good story . The world is driven mostly by a bunch of cultists , you got to make FU money and take the red pill to escape the lunacy 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?

They would not have been good times for human civilisation (had we existed as we do today), and those conditions would destroy society as we know it. So if we are doing something that is pushing the chemistry of our atmosphere to a situation that would trigger bad conditions like that for us, we should probably refrain from doing that shouldn't we?

Why would you want to just charge full bore into a situation that makes human life as we know it very hard, if there is ways we can avoid it?
 

You made the point that people think just because it has never happened before it will never happen now.

I made the point that even when it Has happened before, if people do not like the story, they will not accept that it could happen now.

As you said, it is like a flaw in the human psyche that we close our minds to events that we don't want to know about
 
1. yeah, that is true, a lot of people do think that way.

2. but the whole point of climate change policy is that we DO know it’s happened before, and we don’t want to cause it to happen again Prematurely during our lives if anything it’s the climate change deniers that don’t want to accept that changing the chemistry of the atmosphere can change the climate, just like it has in the past.

3. I think you might be guilty of that when it comes to climate change, you don’t seem to believe that humans changing the chemistry of the atmosphere can cause changes in the climate that aren’t desirable.
 
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.

 
You understand they are actually removing the sea wall equivalent of your own project?
They are doing anti mitigation:
If climate warming was to be created by CO2 (it is not but basic science is not a forte in 2024), only the most lunatics would believe it could be abated to the point of not having to at least take basic protective measure, here under the guise of..i do not what..we destroy our economic food source and fresh water resources.
Destruction of fresh water access and food production is actually becoming a mantra lately.
I expect another WEF scare campaign on these water items, as for food, engineered shortage is on its way..
But I am a complotist, like Covid, mask luck of efficiency...etc
 
Which sea wall are they removing?
 

Whenever I look for a place to buy, apartments come up first. But I am way to weary of strata and poorly built places. All of these issues are also very reminiscent of America's HOA's. They've had issues for a very long time; its a shame we haven't taken note and tried to get ahead of it.
 
Which sea wall are they removing?
Knobby had a project where they built a sea wall for risk mgt.
Which is good project management
Here in sunny coast , we are removing tidal gates, letting sea surges flood land, and pretending it prevents floods rol..
This same council built a solar farm in flooding land which was left unconnected for years due to said flooding.
I pay rates there .....
 
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.
