Hi Terry,
The projected rise in sea levels is about five metres (just
over 16 feet) in the next 100 years. That gives us plenty of time to pick up
our beach umbrellas and move back a few feet. Over 90 per cent of our
population lives with a half-hour drive of the sea so the issue is one of
great interest here. In my case it will bring the nearest tidal water
(currently 300 yards away) to within a hundred yards of my front lawn and
maybe take out a few of my grape vines.
It's a worry I tell you.
Regards,
Bob.
