The global sea-level rise could be up to 90cm higher (up to 1.9 m) than earlier estimates by 2100, according to the new study by NTU. Under the low-emissions scenario (1.8 C degree) sea levels are very likely to rise between 0.3m-1m (0.6, IPCC) Previous estimates understated extreme scenarios 🌊🪨

I'm really not quite sure how to process this paragraph 🤔: "The (EA) said flash flooding had taken place in Somerset because the ground was already saturated. It said it needed to “shepherd” a huge amount of water through the system and stop water spilling on to the low-lying Somerset moors."

Great interview of @alexsteffen.bsky.social by @pbsnews.bsky.social However, as a reader of 'Category 5', Zebrowski and Howard's book about Hurricane Camille's impact on Virginia, the 'Safe haven' narrative for NC never made sense to me.

I recall being told in training that the most dangerous place that a Police Officer can interview a suspect, is in their kitchen. Just too many lethal weapons within easy reach. It's about so much more than knife purchase.

I checked the Red Warning that was given in advance of Storm Arwen in 2021 (which I won't post to prevent confusion). It ran in a strip up the east coast between Middlesborough to Fraserborough. The #StormÉowyn Red warning outline is really worrying me weather.metoffice.gov.uk/warnings-and...

Well, I'm just reading the HMG response to the Covid Inquiry (1) and see that we are apparently due to get our long awaited new CONOPS in the next few months. I know you're all excited, but please contain yourselves. #EmergencyManagement

Ok. This number is likely a bit high, but puts these fires on par with Hurricane Katrina as the single costliest disaster in US history.

No photos, but yesterday - due to us following a car being driven painfully slowly - we spotted a cast ewe in a field beside the road. She'd been stranded on her back for long enough to have become very, very tired (we thought she was dead)..so we righted her just in time. #JobDone #EyesPeeled 🐑 👀
