Placeholder for time being, moving from lemm.ee

The security report has been buried for 3 years. " 1.5 million Australians who will potentially be inundated and have to move, what does that mean [...] for all of our neighbours "

Nothing will be spared on the Australian coasts due to rising sea levels. Even more will be happening to all the low-lying neighboring nations.

We're fucked. Just listen to climate scientists. We've blown past milestones that were forecast out to 2050.

We're already fucked. Royally fucked. It's just gonna take time for the planet to catch up. But the damage is done.

Were more or less already at 1.5°. The carbon budget will be met next year or something for that level of warming.

The half of the report that has been released to the public is in the news:

TL/DR is that it's officially "too late" on stopping climate change, we are past the point of no return according to the findings.

Are Melbourne and Sydney low lying?

They are. All the major cities are on the ocean.

Those populations are 11 million, so not the 1.5 million he says will have to move.

Presumably the entire city wouldn't be affected but perhaps 10% would?
