Freezing weather in the America

[Returnofrros]

Despite all these rising sea levels.....frontline properties are always the most expensive and there's no end of people wanting to spend millions on them....Europe to the Americas to the Carribbean to the Indian ocean and Australia.....always strikes me as strange

Homes have been falling into the sea due to erosion since humans have been building them too close to the edge of the water.

The islands that are seeing this sea creep might benefit from a good dose of dredging.

Over one hundred years ago people living in houses close to the sea near Port Ellen on Islay were forced to leave due to rising sea levels.
However in 2025 the area where these houses were situated have never been flooded because the rising sea levels have never taken place.
The severe flooding in 1993 in the North Muirton housing estate only happened because the useless Council planners allowed these houses to be built on a flood plain and the equally useless Councillors on the Council planning committee voted in favour of it.

Was North Muirton also down to poor flood defences?

Defences that wouldn't have been needed if they'd pursued more sensible house building policies?

The stupid council officials gave planning permission to build North Muirton on a flood plain.
My maternal grandparents lived in Harley Terrace in Perth which was close to the North Inch Golf Course
The River Tay is tidal level with the furthest out part of the North Inch golf course.
Every time there was heavy rain or a sudden snow melt which coincided with high tide on the River Tay the burns which flowed through the furthest away part of the North Inch golf course used to hit a wall of water in the River Tay and backed up across the golf course and the site where the North Muirton housing estate was built.
Flood defences were built after the 1993 flood which has resulted in the South Inch being the flood plan every time the Craigie Burn in Perth floods when a spell of heavy rain coincides with high tide on the River Tay.
