IMG_3272_p.jpg The area of the North Wales coast between Prestatyn and Abergele was reclaimed from an ancient salt marsh. As such it is flat, low lying and susceptible to coastal flooding. Climate change driven sea level rise increases the risk making it one of the most at risk coastal areas in the British Isles. In 1990 a combination of strong westerly winds a high tide and a 1.5m storm surge breached 400 metres of the sea wall and inundated 2800 properties in Towyn and Kinmel Bay. The rocks have been placed to try and strengthen the sea wall.

IMG_0411.jpg On Friday 20th July 2007 up to 5 inches of rain fell across central and southern England on already saturated ground. Rivers rose rapidly and by saturday flooding started to occur along the Severn corridor. Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire was particularly badly hit where the rivers Severn and Avon meet. River's rose to unprecedented levels causing the worst ever floods. Thousands of homes were inundated with people haing to be evacuated, many by boat or by Sea King helicopter. The Myth water treatment plant in the town was also flooded, cutting off water supplies to around 350,000 people, with the water predicted to be off for up to 2 weeks. Many also had their electricity supplies cut off as sub stations were affected by the floods. Estimates for the cost of the devastating and unprecedented summer floods are arounf £5 billion.

366W9872_climate change_caravan.jpg A caravan park in Saariselka Northern Finland. Climate change has already raised average temperatures by 0.7 oC over the last century. Winters are getting both warmer and wetter and in Southern Finland winters are becoming increasingly snow free. As permafrost melts across the Arctic huge quantities of carbon dioxide and methane could be released leading to even further warming. Such iconic winter scenes could in a relatively short space of time become a thing of the past.
