New tsunami risk for Hull as experts say ‘absolute worst case’ predictions weren’t bad enough
Hull has already been hit by tidal surges but climate change means it is at greater risk from huge waves
With much of Hull lying below sea level and with the East Yorkshire coast eroding at an alarming rate the risk of more tsunamis is not good news.
The risk of the devastation caused by the huge waves is bigger than previously estimated because of climate change, according to new findings.
Tsunamis are destructive fast-moving waves that can be triggered by earthquakes, mountain slides, or meteor impacts.
But now because of sea-levels rising the risks for coastal communities around the world are growing, Plymouth Live reports.
OMG, this is horrible!
It is not clear if Hull has ever been affected by a tsunami throughout its history, but the city has been badly affected by tidal flooding.
So, it’s never happened going back thousands of years, but, a town that’s below sea level has been affected by flooding? Shocking!
But a new study by researchers suggests what was previously assumed to be the ‘absolute worst case’ regarding tsunamis now appears to be ‘modest’ for what is predicted in some locations.
The new findings show the likely increase of flooding would also move further inland than previously estimated from tsunamis following earthquakes.
Stop. Just stop.
For the study, Dr Weiss and his colleagues created computer-simulated tsunamis at current sea level and with sea-level increases of 1.5 feet and three feet in the Chinese territory of Macau.
You had me at “computer-simulated.” Not to be outdone, we have this from an Irish paper
Tsunamis will become more common and more ferocious with global warming, scientists warned after a study found that worldwide sea-level rises will increase the risk of coastal cities being wiped out.
Smaller earthquakes that currently pose no serious tsunami threat could unleash waves capable of decimating coastal cities.
It’s all about linking naturally occuring events to the Cult of Climastrology and predicting doom, yet, these same people won’t make their lives carbon neutral. Go figure.
