The researchers were surprised to find that the loss of #water on the continents has grown so dramatically that it has become one of the largest causes of global #SeaLevel rise.

Moisture lost to evaporation and drought, plus runoff from pumped groundwater, now outpaces the melting of glaciers and the ice sheets of either Antarctica or Greenland as the largest contributor of water to the oceans.

The impacts of fossil fuel emissions are gnawing on Australia's coastline

"Australia's exposure to current and future risks from the sea, including coastal erosion, king tides and rising sea levels, was "very high", The Insurance Council of Australia.

"Sea level rise caused by climate change would mean the issue was not going away, and Australians needed to consider what we valued about our coastline."

"Why a seawall might not protect both beaches and homes from coastal erosion...We'll end up with a giant wall around our beaches, or around our whole coastline. That's not saving the landscape, that's saving the infrastructure. We've got to slow down development and look at what we value about the beach."

Professor Kennedy "said governments would need to consider buying back beachfront land and rehabilitating it, to protect both infrastructure and the beach."

Damn!

I mean, dam!

Humanity Has Dammed So Much Water It's Shifted Earth's Magnetic Poles | Science Alert | Tessa Koumoundouros

"As we trap water behind dams, not only does it remove water from the oceans, thus leading to a global sea level fall, it also distributes mass in a different way around the world," says [geophysicst Natasha] Valencic.

Global #sealevels are rising faster and faster. It spells catastrophe for #coastal towns and cities
Though global #sealevel "varied little" for the 2,000 years before the 20th century, sea levels then "started rising and have not stopped since — and the pace is accelerating."
What #scientists are crystal clear about is the reason for #sealivelrise: human-caused #globalwarming.

EurekAlert!Old aerial photos give scientists a new tool to predict sea level riseResearchers from the University of Copenhagen have gained unique insight into the mechanisms behind the collapse of Antarctic ice shelves, which are crucial for sea level rise in the Northern Hemisphere. The discovery of old aerial photos has provided an unparalleled dataset that can improve predictions of sea level rise and how we should prioritise coastal protection and other forms of climate adaptation.

This article was really interesting, but the end is dark re climate collapse.

Anyway, from the link:

“There were mammoths and mastodons walking through Durham and through the Seacoast and all through New Hampshire. There's no question about it,” says Will Clyde, a geology professor at the University of New Hampshire.

“I tend to study periods that are much further in the past, and I don't tend to work in New Hampshire much,” Clyde says, but he is lucky enough to have fishermen visit his office when they find something odd amid all the stones and shells of a drag net.
“There's quite a few specimens that have been discovered by fishermen in the relatively shallow area there,” he says. “And that includes teeth, that includes ribs, that includes a beautiful specimen a few years ago that was a juvenile. It was a baby mastodon.”

We seldom think about sea level rising. What was it ? A few milimeters in a hundred years, according to Trump. And of course he is wrong.
But we don't. We put it away in some dark corner.
But on the other side of the planet, it's a very different story.
Take your time for this one.

Rising Tides, Shifting Powers delves into the poignant reality of Pacific islanders grappling with the existential threat of climate change and the complex geopolitics involving the United States and China. The episode opens with Millicent Barty, a climate activist and entrepreneur, whose daily life exemplifies the immediate dangers faced by Pacific communities. As sea levels rise, their cultural heritage is at risk, mirroring the precarious future of the entire island nation.
Simultaneously, Suluafi Brianna Fruean, a Pacific Climate Warrior, represents the voice of young Pacific Islanders on a global platform. She campaigns for the urgent need for climate action for the Pacific.
The episode weaves together these personal stories with the broader themes of superpower competition, revealing how the Pacific islands, while small and geographically distant, are at the forefront of major global issues. The finale of Rising Tides, Shifting Powers leaves viewers reflecting on the resilience of Pacific peoples and the critical role they play in shaping their destiny amid rising environmental and geopolitical challenges.
Fight for the Pacific, a four-part series, showcases the Pacific’s critical transformation into a battleground of global power. This series captures the high-stakes rivalry between the US and China as they vie for dominance in a region pivotal to global stability. The series frames the Pacific not just as a battleground for superpowers, but also as a region with its own unique challenges and aspirations."
