GLOBAL WARMING RAISES SEA LEVEL ~ CAUSES STORM SURGES
CONSIDER the trauma of your HOUSE
Overbalancing the eroded COAST
And falling FORTY FEET into the foaming SEA !
Such traumas are faced by Families in .......
The UK every year ~ They lose everything
All they possess ! Because they are so close
Local Insurance Companies inspect and refuse !
Every Englishman's Home is his CASTLE ~ WE
Render them : Weather ~ Fire & Burgler PROOF
Our Homes are our Refuge from the World & Work !
Since we are an ISLAND we all love the SEA ~ and
I like to live near the Coast ~ now 10 miles away ~ no
On the EDGE ! But many do especially the Retired ! One
NIGHT they wake up and find half their house FLOATING !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡
Im visiting the COAST next week with some students on
an ongoing Coastal Erosion Environmental Project.
I will be off~line so Angela will post a few Poems on
AUTUMN in New Zealand ! Love A & B 🧡🧡🧡

It's terrible for those who live close to the sea as your fine write describes. Look forward to Angela's postings next week - have a good trip Brian.
Thanks UNCLE MIKE ~ Pleased you enjoyed it despite the sombre topic. Some of the houses in Norfolk now in Danger were 100 yards or more from the Coast when they bought them ! However GLOBAL WARMING has intensified the impact of Sea Corrosion ~ all over the World and dozens of Homes are lost every Year ! Trump knows ~ but he thinks the Houses on the Californian Coast are being pushed into the Sea by illegal Mexican Immigrants @ night !
Blessings & Peace
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
It seems like nature, that humans have not yet learnt to control, is showing who is still running the show.
Enjoy your next habitat.
Thanks SURESH ! GAIA Theory teaches us that Planet Earth is like a living Organism ! So when a constraint is applied ~ like CO2 increase ~ The Greenhouse Effect causes the ambient temperature to rise from 15 to 16C. This in turn causes ~ ice caps to melt ~ sea levels to rise & storms & hurricanes to intensify ! Consequently our Coastal Areas suffer & houses fall nto the Sea ! Mother Nature is like all females ~ You muck about with Her at your Peril ! We all need to have more reaspect for the Natural World !
Blessings & Peace
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡
And one wonders that are the REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS and the public that supports them really that ignorant or in actuality JUST BRAIN DEAD
A fine write B&A. Erm, yes. 'The wise man built his house upon a rock'. But it didn't add 'Right next to a cliff'. Doh!
GRACIAS UNCLE STEVE ~ Wise Men always build & plan in HARMONY with NATURE ! Which is why my current Flat is 10 miles from the Coast. Friends of mine who have static caravans on the Norfolk / Suffolk Coast are now having to move them cos the Sea is much closer than when they bought them. They are moving them to inland sites which is not the same !
Blessings & Joy to YOU & FIDO
Love Brian & Angela 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Noting sounds worse than having to live in something so dangerous - - our thought go out to those whose home straggles the edge.
Thanks FAY ~ The real tragedy is when they bought those HOUSES they where many many Yards form the COAST. NOW (due to Global warming etc) they are tottering on the Brink. It is hartbreaking to see it and talk to those affected. As the video shows they just have to move out and leave their beloved (retirement) Cottage to the SEA ! At the moment there is no insurance or compensation ! Some of these houses cost in excess of £300,000 ($ 400,000) because of their idyllic location. You know how expensive Coastal Houses are in Cornwall ~ BUT ~ Your Cliffs are granite ~ Ours are SAND & Agregate ~ much more fluid ! Please pray for those who lose their homes each Month !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thanks for a very full comment "OUT" the things you cite acctually happened. You can go to Hawaii and see the USS ARIZONA under the water in Pearl Harbour and travel to Hiroshima & Nagasaki and see the havoc wrought by the only two ATOM BOMBS the USA had ~ BUT it ended the War in the Pacific. Thousands of Japanese Civilian Lives were lost but thousands of JAPANESE & USA Soldiers lives were saved. These catastrophies we call ANTHROPOGENIC = MAN MADE ! Its the smae with Global Warming ~ it is NOT a natural cycle ~ rise in CO2 levels in the ATMOSPHERE is due to DEFORESTATION (Forests absorb CO2 and produce OXYGEN) and burning Fossil Fuels absorb OXYGEN and produce CO2 ! Because Kentucky voted for Mister Trump ~ he has reopened the Coal Mines and that coal is being used to produce Electricity instead of Nuclear which is clean.
Global warming has already caused the Ambient Global Temperature to rise from 15 ~ 16C ~ Ice caps to melt and sea huricanes & storms to be more intence ~ causing Worldwide Global Erosion ~ OK ~ Its all MAN MADE ! We could reverse it but People in the Affluent Countries do not want to give up their Hi-tech ~ Electricity & Fuel demanding life style ~ OK
Thanks for your comments much FUEL for THOUGHT !
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA !
Very good and very true write. When ever will homo sapiens come to its senses.
As an aside though coastal erosion has got to come a very long way to get to us the 151 miles to the beach.
HAND ON HEART UNCLE ANDY ~ I can assure you that 151 miles should be (just !) far enough to save your house from falling into the SEA this Century ! BUT ~ I cannot predict beyond 2100 ! perhaps the whole of the whole of the UK will be underwater with just the summits of BEN NEVIS ~ SNOWDEN & SCAFELL PIKE showing where we all used to be ! Thanks for your comment we are all guilty of an increasing Carbon Footprint. The Undeveloped World is once again paying the Price for the ignorance (especially Trump) of the Developed World. Despite the solomness of the Subject ~ pleased you enjoyed the presentation.
Blessings & Peace to You & Joyce
