The Welsh village condemned to disappear due to climate change

wanna bet?
In 2054 this village will not exist
Climate change is a serious matter and in some places, like this corner of Wales, in the United Kingdom, it can have dramatic consequences. By 2054 water will completely flood this little village called Fairbourne.

I bet I can still get a 30yr home loan there.

They said this about 2012. Then 2019.
Basically it's total horse shite.

Gore missed his prediction for when New Orleans would be permanently under water.

BTW Fairborne is below sea level at high tide. That's why they have relied on sea wall and levees there since for centuries, just like New Orleans.
It started as an outpost and was developed as a port on a marsh and is now subsiding, just like New Orleans.
So claiming it will be under water in 2054 is dishonest. If not for that wall and system of levees, it would have been under water in the 19th century. Again - just like New Orleans.

Aren't NOLA and Manhattan supposed to have been underwater for 20 years now?
Posted on 9/14/22 at 11:06 am to djmed
We only have 12 more years until there are just 5 more years before we have a scant 7 years before it'll only be 10 years before we have to act in the next 3 years or there will only be 8 more years until....

Didn't they have signs that said Glacier National Park would be glacier free by 2020?

If that little seaside village is gonna be underwater, won't the Obamas' seaside house be underwater also?

Article is being overly dramatic.
That's a levee protected town that was built on a salt water marsh. Heavy structures like buildings and levees are going to sink without constant maintenance and intervention.
Soil dynamics and economic collapse are almost certainly going to claim this one. Not climate change.

That's a crying shame. Beautiful, idyllic location. The irony is that Wales was known in past generations for its coal mining and coal-fired power plants. Tragicly, their former transgressions may lead to this sorry outcome.
Is it too late to start building a seawall to "save the Wales"?

They have a seawall and levees. It was built because the town is on a salt water marsh and they've always had issues with tidal and river flooding.
Climate change is a concern and a contributing factor, but we have got to be less stupid with how and where we build our cities and towns. We build massive, ever-sprawling metroplexes in the central and southern US and wonder why we get more deadly tornado strikes. We build hotels and condos on every fricking foot of frontage in the Florida panhandle and Gulf Shores and wonder why hurricanes are more costly. We build levees and wonder why the cities they protect are sinking. We build entire cities in the middle of the fricking desert and wonder why our reservoirs are running dry.
I swear we just keep doing more and more foolish things with land use.

Did you know gullible isn’t in the dictionary?

We build cities in low lying areas and freak out when sea level changes threaten them. Yet we have known for a long time that sea levels rise and fall. Is the government going to ban new construction in threatened areas?
