minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•11 months agoI mean, that’s interesting info, but none of it refutes what i said
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•11 months ago storms can rise 15 feet or more above the ordinary sea level
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish7•11 months agoStorm surge levels isn’t the same thing as sea level.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•11 months agoI’m sure that’s comforting to the economically underserved that have barriers to contingency plans.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•11 months agoTechnically correct, but ultimately irrelevant. Storm surge renders properties below the point of sea-rise height uninhabitable. The fact that its temporary doesn’t mitigate the long-term destructive impact it inflicts.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-211 months agoNot irrelevant, it very much depends on the frequency and severity. Katrina Sandy flooded NYC massively, but it’s still extremely inhabited.
