Around the year 2000 26% of Dutch people are living below sea level. Without dikes and dunes 60% of the Netherlands would regularly overflow.

The picture is part of a series entitled "Normal". I made it for the artistic research project "What If" by @noorderlicht@pixelfed.social and Sign Groningen in 2020. My good friend Kasper posed in the cold water as businessman.

How Nantucket Is Preparing for Rising Seas

The Massachusetts island anticipates damages of $3.4 billion through 2070 if nothing is done.

"It’s no longer unusual to see a kayaker paddling along downtown Easy Street.... Easy Street was flooded a record 75 days in 2023."

The coastal resilience plan "so far has identified 40 proposed projects over the next 15 years at a cost of $930 million."

Scientists say next few years vital to securing the future of the West #Antarctic Ice Sheet

EurekAlert!Scientists say next few years vital to securing the future of the West Antarctic Ice SheetCollapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could be triggered with very little ocean warming above present-day, leading to a devastating four metres of global sea level rise to play out over hundreds of years according to a study now  published in Communications Earth & Environment, co-authored by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). However, the authors emphasise that immediate actions to reduce emissions could still avoid a catastrophic outcome.

As Summer Approaches, #NewJersey’s Shore Towns Confront an Unrelenting Foe: #SeaLevelRise

“Sunny day” flooding is now a thing down the shore, where the tides have risen at twice the global average. Sooner or later, “we’re not going to be able to protect everything everywhere,” one state official says.

I was just reading the new science study documenting how we're very close now to (perhaps even past) the ocean temperatures needed to start the irreversible collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.

"Notably, West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse contributes over 4 m sea-level rise in equilibrium ice sheet states with little (0.25 °C) or even no ocean warming above present. Therefore, today we are likely already at (or almost at) an overshoot scenario, supporting recent studies warning of substantial irreversible ice loss with little or no further climate warming."

A sea level rise of 4 metres was visualised for Christchurch City, New Zealand, by Earth.org in 2020. It's over a third of our city underwater.

It seems like something we should be doing everything we can to avoid happening.

A map of mid-Canterbury, New Zealand, made by Earth.org, that projects 2 m and 4 m sea level rise. 4 m is the "Extreme 4" scenario (which is looking more and more likely as the years go by and atmospheric carbon dioxide keeps rising). At 4 m, 36% of the city of Christchurch will be underwater. If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet melts, that will add 4 metres of sea level rise to all the other sea level rise caused by global warming (like ocean expansion and Greenland melting). Maybe Rolleston really will be the town of the future. The map is from https://earth.org/data_visualization/sea-level-rise-by-2100-christchurch/

Ghost forests are growing due to #sealevelrise
As trees choked by #saltwater die along low-lying coasts, #marshes may move in. Arboreal graveyards are showing up in places where the land slopes gently into the ocean and where salty water increasingly encroaches. Along the United States’ East Coast, in pockets of the West Coast, and elsewhere, saltier soils have killed hundreds of thousands of acres of trees, leaving behind woody skeletons typically surrounded by #marsh.

When the sea moves inland: A global climate wake-up call from #Bangladesh's Delta

As sea levels climb and #weather grows more extreme, coastal regions everywhere are facing a creeping threat: salt. #Salinization of #freshwater and #soils adversely affects 500 million people around the world, especially in low-lying #river #deltas.

The western parts of the delta, already more prone to tidal influence, showed the fastest increases in salinity. The data suggests that the combination of #SeaLevelRise, reduced freshwater flow, and increasingly frequent storm surges are all contributing to the inland movement and retention of saltwater.

Since about 2007, many parts of the delta have experienced stepwise increases in salinity, often linked to powerful storms like #Cyclone #Sidr. These changes can devastate crops, erode #FoodSecurity, and force communities to move. While the analysis focused primarily on environmental data, it underscores how salinity intrusion is increasingly a threat to livelihoods, public #health, and regional stability.

Some scepticals and deniers have a difficulty with large and far away numbers. They can't [won't] grasp the concept of changes in the life time of their grandchildren.
That's not only unforgivable but when it's on purpose it's outright criminal !
Only because they won't change their habits now.

"May 27, 2025
Ice loss from the polar ice sheets will lock us in to multi-metres of sea level rise over the (very) long term. Even today's warming of 1.3 C will result in coastline-altering sea level rise. But how fast seas rise is critically important when it comes to adaptation - and by now it's pretty much the only thing we can control."
