COASTAL EROSION @ HEMSBY NORFOLK (UK) S E COAST
COASTAL EROSION ~ is a UK Problem
Only part of our Coast has defences
A fair percentage of the Coast is just .....
SAND ! We constantly build Houses too near to .....
The Coast ~ BUT with the Sea Level rising
An outcome of Global Warming ~ The Sea
LEVELS erode the Sand ~ causing collapse !
EROSION is slow but sure ~ and building
Robust Defenses is too expensive !
Once Sand Erosion starts ~ UNSTOPABLE
Soon Roads & Houses ~ Fall into the SEA !
I talked to People who had lost everything
One of lifes paradoxes ~ Love to Live
Near the SEA ~ BUT ~ we never count the RISKS !
Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
The problem arises in the UK because we have a very
convoluted Coast and we are only as wide as Kentucky
(USA) in our widest part so a lot of people life near the
Sea ! The Land to Sea Coast ratio is about 12 : 1 The
USA has a much bigger Land Mass and her ratio is ten
times bigger @ about 140 : 1 Land to Sea Coast ratio.
Other countries like New Zealand have a ratio closer
to the UK. The avaerage temperature of Planet Earth
has risen by one degree Celcius (15 to 16 C) due to
a CO2 increase from 250 ppm to over 400 ppm due to
Human (not natural) causes ! This has caused the Ice
Caps to melt and also the seas to expand due to a rise
in temperature. Also the warmer the Sea the more
intense are Hurricanes etc. If we dont reduce global
CO2 emission Planet Earth will be unable to sustain
a Human Population of over 15 billion by 2100 and
there will be CHAOS. There is nowhere else in the
Solar System (or the Milky Way) to go ~ DOOM !
