Are you Capetonians prepared ?

Are all the Vaarlies prepared to lose Durban when it turns into the new Atlantis as well :p Maybe that will stop the yearly exodus of Vaarlies this year :twisted:
 
Cape flats averages something like 2m below sea level iirc. So with a 1m rise in sea level there could be problems. That's about 30 years ago so fake news nothing new.

Flats will actually go first. Most of the Atlantic Seaboard is well above water. Table mountain Island will be awesome, If Im lucky I'll have a beach house.

Going to join the rest of the "climate refugees"

Six years ago, the United Nations issued a dramatic warning that the world would have to cope with 50 million climate refugees by 2010. But now that those migration flows have failed to materialize, the UN has distanced itself from the forecasts. On the contrary, populations are growing in the regions that had been identified as environmental danger zones.

In 2008, Srgjan Kerim, president of the UN General Assembly, said it had been estimated that there would be between 50 million and 200 million environmental migrants by 2010. A UNEP web page showed a map of regions where people were likely to be displaced by the ravages of global warming. It has recently been taken offline but is still visible in a Google cache.
