"Sea-level rise – along with increasing temperatures – is one of the clearest
signals of man-made global warming. Yet exactly how rising water levels affect
the coast is often misunderstood.
A new coastal hazard assessment for Victoria’s Port Phillip Bay has again
thrown the spotlight on the impact of sea-level rise on coastal communities in
Australia. Should we be worried? Or is the reality more nuanced?
While there are still many uncertainties, even a small change in sea level can
have big impacts. We should be doing all we can to limit sea-level rise to
protect our coastal cities and towns. And because sea levels will continue to
rise for centuries after we cut emissions to net zero, planning decisions for
coastal areas must factor this in."
