| Mumbai, land at risk from 1.5m sea rise |
• 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.

| Mumbai, land at risk with 1.0m sea rise |
• 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.
• 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. Some properties will become more expensive to insure or become impossible to insure
• When certain properties are in less demand their value falls.
• Would you buy a property with a value that is likely to fall?
• The view of Mumbai above shows areas likely to be inundated by a 1.5m and a 1.0m sea level rise.
• Property above a 10m rise will become highly sought after and will greatly increase in value.
