<font face="Calibri"><b>Rising Sea Levels Will Isolate People Long
Before They’re Underwater</b><br>
Time and tide wait for no man. Neither does sea level rise.<br>
by Brian Owens<br>
May 25, 2023 <br>
</font><font face="Calibri">The Chignecto Isthmus—the low marshy
strip connecting New Brunswick and Nova Scotia—may be one of the
most vulnerable places in Canada to sea level rise. At just 21
kilometers wide, the interprovincial land bridge is battered on
its southwestern flank by the famously extreme tides in the Bay of
Fundy. Protected by a network of earthen dikes first constructed
in the 1600s, “the tops of the dikes are only a little higher than
the spring high tides,” says Jeff Ollerhead, a coastal
geomorphologist at Mount Allison University, located in Sackville,
New Brunswick, at the western end of the isthmus. “If we have a
big storm,” he says, “water will go over the dikes.”<br>
<br>
When scientists and the public fret about sea level rise, they
mostly focus on when and where communities will be permanently
flooded. But there’s another consequence of rising seas that will
affect many more people much sooner: getting cut off from roads
and other critical infrastructure. It’s a threat that society has
not paid nearly enough attention to, says Allison Reilly, a civil
engineer at the University of Maryland.<br>
<br>
The flood-prone Chignecto Isthmus shows what’s at stake. Hidden
behind the barely sufficient dikes are reams of vital
infrastructure: the Trans-Canada Highway, a Canadian National
Railway line, multiple electrical transmission lines and
fiber-optic cables, a wind farm, and agricultural land.<br>
<br>
Though it’s unlikely the Chignecto Isthmus will be fully flooded
any time soon—a disastrous outcome that would sever the link
between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia—disruptions from
storm-related flooding are becoming more common. That’s bad news
for people like Ollerhead, who frequently cross the isthmus to get
to medical appointments, access the international airport in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, or even take shopping trips to Ikea. At a
broader scale, temporary flooding of the highway or rail line
could disrupt activity in the Port of Halifax, a major economic
driver for the region.<br>
<br>
In a new paper, Reilly and her colleagues show the breadth and
pace of the isolation threat. Inspired by her work on the eastern
shore of Maryland, where people already need to adjust their
travel and work schedules to account for tides that frequently
swamp roads, Reilly and her colleagues calculated that, with one
meter of sea level rise, twice as many people across the coastal
United States will be isolated than will be inundated. “People who
live [three meters] above sea level, their house might be okay,”
she says. “But that doesn’t mean they will be reliably able to get
to the grocery store.”...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">While sea level rise is often considered
a problem for the far future, Reilly says people will start
getting isolated much sooner. “It’s very possible that we could
see that in our lifetimes.”<br>
<br>
Worse still, many places currently considered at low risk of sea
level rise suddenly become much more vulnerable when isolation is
taken into account, Reilly says. While planners know that
low-lying Florida will be severely inundated, Maine, with its high
rocky coasts, is generally thought to be at low risk. But Reilly’s
work shows many Mainers are vulnerable to being cut off by
flooding in coastal communities and river valleys.<br>
<br>
This far more immediate effect of rising seas needs to become part
of the broader planning process, says Reilly—both in terms of the
adaptations and protections we build and also in how we prepare
for the pending wave of climate migrants as people leave places
where the quality of life has become too burdened by sea level
rise.<br>
<br>
That kind of planning is starting to happen around the Chignecto
Isthmus, where the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia governments are
considering a variety of plans to raise or replace the dikes. For
Ollerhead, that work can’t start soon enough.<br>
<br>
“It will take a lot of sea level rise before Nova Scotia becomes
an island, but you could have a storm that cuts off the major
transportation links for days, weeks, or months,” he says. “It’s
nearly impossible to predict when, but it will happen eventually.”<br>

<font face="Calibri">Nov 17, 2021</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The relationship between climate change and
deadly conflict is complex and context-specific. Climate change
affects every aspect of life, damaging food systems, displacing
millions, and shaping the future of conflict. </font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">It is undeniable that climate change is a
threat multiplier that is already increasing food insecurity,
water scarcity and resource competition, while disrupting
livelihoods and spurring migration. In turn, deadly conflict and
political instability are contributing to climate change.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">As this introductory video lays out, Crisis
Group’s work on climate change and conflict relies on field-based
research and analysis to provide insights into how policymakers
might best influence and respond to these complex changes to
mitigate conflict risks. Find our work on climate and the future

May 26, 1990: The New York Times covers the release of the First
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report:<br>
<br>
"A panel of scientists warned today that unless emissions of carbon
dioxide and other harmful gases were immediately cut by more than 60
percent, global temperatures would rise sharply over the next
century, with unforeseeable consequences for humanity.<br>
<br>
"While much of the substance of the report has already been
disclosed, the report had immediate political consequences. Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher of Britain, breaking with the Bush
Administration's skepticism over the need for immediate action, said
today that if other countries did their part, Britain would reduce
the projected growth of its carbon dioxide emissions enough to
stabilize them at 1990 levels by the year 2005."<br>
