A deadly climate change effect is even worse than feared, study finds Sea level along the world’s coastlines is often much higher than previously assumed, a new study finds.

#Climatechange may threaten tens of millions more people than had been believed, according to a new study that says earlier research used incorrect information about water levels along the world’s coastlines. #Risingseas

Florida keeps packing people and buildings on barrier islands. It comes at a high cost Florida barrier islands host 765,000+ residents as development raises hurricane, erosion and insurance risks while taxpayers fund repeated beach restorations.

Interesting article about building on barrier islands. The climate effects of more powerful hurricanes, like Ian, and the rising seas are impacting lives, homes and costs.

Extrapolate this. It's not slowing down. We aren't doing anything to stop it.
But we ARE bequeathing higher sea levels to our children.
Maybe I won't mourn the loss of Mar-a-Lago to the rising sea, but there are plenty of other places I WILL mourn the loss of.

A photo of waves from a King Tide high tide event crashing into homes along Solimar Beach. On the top left part of the slide, text in a banner reads: “King Tides Snapshot: Solimar Beach (2/9/2020)”. On the bottom right of the slide, text reads: “Photo: The King Tides Project”. Hashtag logo #EJinSLR.

Today we're showcasing Solimar Beach in Ventura to show the possible impacts of rising sea levels, where high tides crash directly into homes with little buffer. Incidents like this show how rising sea levels can threaten coastal neighborhoods. #risingseas

Nearly one-third of Tuvalu citizens seek to live in Australia on climate visa The visa program has been hailed as a landmark response to the looming challenge of climate-forced migration.

www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/26/asia-pac...

And yet Australia's offer is only about 250 visas per year. Frankly, they should be planning to accommodate most of the South Pacific.
