The clip shows a future #Manhattan protected by #SeaWalls and the technology that allows humans to "thrive" in a world wracked by #ClimateChange. https://www.engadget.com/every-actor-on-our-ruined-planet-will-star-in-apple-tvs-extrapolations-162616337.html?src=rss

This same thing could happen in London if we don't get serious about delivering the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan now! It's not just about a new Thames Barrier. London still has a chance to design good waterfronts. But time is running out. https://buff.ly/3QFKx7h

🚨 Impressive new paper out by Stephie Fried in #ReStud🚨
Fried evaluates the #climate #adaptation benefits of investments in #seawalls.."Adaptation reduces the damage from [a permanent increase in..the probability or severity of storms] by approximately one-third." Paper can be found here: https://academic.oup.com/restud/article-abstract/89/6/3303/6484653?redirectedFrom=fulltext

Other states, including Maine, South Carolina and Massachusetts, subsequently also passed laws limiting the use of #seawalls and other hard-structured barriers, largely as a result of Pilkey’s research and advocacy.
