| Melbourne inundation with a 5m sea level rise |
• We are looking more and more unlikely to prevent global heating.
• Scientists are predicting the melting of the ice covering Greenland with a subsequent sea level rise of 7m.
• This rise does not factor in sea rise from the melting of Antarctica and other ice.
• Already many properties are likely to flood when a high tide is combined with high local rainfall. What were a hundred year rainfall events are now ten year events.
• The frequency of high rainfall events will increase with global heating and more and more severe hurricanes are predicted because of warmer seas.
• Low coastal areas will be subjected to severe storm surges.
• Once the ice on Greenland and Antarctica melts the sea level will rise. It is already melting.
• Would you buy a property likely to be inundated in twenty years, fifty years, a hundred years? Many wouldn't. Even the perception of possible inundation will greatly affect property values.
• When certain properties are in less demand their value falls.
• Would you buy a property with a value likely to fall?
• The view of Melbourne above shows areas likely to be inundated by a 5m sea level rise.
• Property above a 10m rise will become highly sought after and will greatly rise in value.
