Hull To Be Wiped Out By 9m Of Sea Level Rise-Says Telegraph
By Paul Homewood
h/t Mike Jackson
It’s little wonder that confidence in Britain’s press has plummeted to record low levels, with garbage like this:
Boston, Grimsby and Hull could become some of the world’s worst hit coastal flooding hotspots in the next 80 years as climate change raises sea levels and increases the severity of storms, according to a new study.
Coastal flooding worldwide will rise by 48 per cent and threaten assets worth up to 20 per cent of global GDP without flood defences or action to mitigate global emissions, according to research from the Universities of Melbourne and East Anglia.
If emissions are mitigated, the figures are lowered to an increase of 33 per cent of land at risk of flooding and threats to assets worth $12.7 trillion, or around 17 per cent of global GDP.
The study, published in the journal Nature, says the north-east of the UK will be among the worst hit areas.
It predicts a rise of 5-9 metres along the coast of Boston, Grimsby and 2-5m in Hull in a worst-case scenario, though the researchers say more detailed local modelling is needed.
Nine meters by 2100? What planet is this dopey bird on?
On the NE coast, sea levels have been rising at just 1.9mm a year, a rate over the next 80 years of 152mm, or 6 inches:

Worse still for the fraudsters, the rate of rise has declined since the mid 20thC.
Studies like this one are written by so-called scientists, who know their grants rely on propagating rubbish like this.
It is noticeable that the Telegraph has not dared to include comments on this ludicrous article, because it knows its readers would destroy its credibility.
I reported about a poll last week, which showed that confidence in the press had collapsed in the last year amongst both Tory and Labour voters, while it had increased in the tiny rump of Lib Dim voters.
This article shows exactly why. The press nowadays is now part and parcel of the London metropolitan bubble, which has sold its soul to the global warming scam. Meanwhile, out here in the sticks, the vast majority outside of the illiterate, young woke mob, have not fallen for this nonsense.
This is painfully obvious from comments in the Telegraph, when they are allowed, which regularly expose the articles for the nonsense they are.
The Telegraph, which has probably lost more readers than most in the past year because of its shift to the woke left, will not recover credibility until it takes editorial content away from babies like Emma Gatten, and returns it to the adults.

Such Twilight Zone Science Fiction
Just meant to scare people into submission.
The scare giveaway phrase: ‘in a worst case scenario’ — i.e. Hollywood fiction.
Why Hull and not Hollywood? How unfair.
Thevbigger worry is that these nutjobs are still allowed to teach the young in our universities
This article came online after I received a “reply” to my chase up of a FOIA request to my council, asking them serious questions about their knee-jerk policy in reaction to the “climate emergency” hysteria:
“Thank you for your interest we will ensure that you are invited to all our
events to ensure that a full and rounded discussion including all opinions,
please look out for the formal consultation which is being developed.
“I apply regulation 12(4)(b) to this request for information as it is an
exception to protect public authorities from a disproportionate burden or an
unjustified level of distress, disruption or irritation in handling information
requests. Manifestly unreasonable requests can place a strain on
resources and prevent public authorities to deliver mainstream services.
Therefore, I consider that we have responded to your original request and
provided the information and I apply the exception to future
correspondence regarding this request.”
I’ve been granted leave to complain to their internal complaints department and, if I’m still not satisfied, I can go to the Information Commissioner! I may cut out the middleman. When is somebody in authority going to grow a pair?
Simple, “Authority” is behind this. Local councils depend upon central government for most of their funding, they get extra funding to declare a “Climate Emergency” & to appoint a “Climate Change Officer”. Nobody’s going to break ranks.
That looks like the basis for another FOIA request!
Thats a new one on me. Can you give a reference for a council getting funds for declaring an emergency?
“ When is somebody in authority going to grow a pair?”
… or even give a damn?
The oceans have been rising and falling forever it’s what they do.
The next twenty years may see ocean levels rise in places and dip in others then we have twenty years … you get the picture.
You’d think the American government and especially The Pentagon would know about these things and I reckon they do.
So what are they doing about their military base in the Indian ocean that carries a 70,000 strong personnel with billions of dollars in equipment.
They have major computer satellite and radar installations connected up to satellites.
They have war ships war planes submarines coming and going to be restocked with medicine food ordnance and more.
They have industrial size fuel tanks on the beach and some of that fuel is bunker fuel.
The island is called Diego Garcia which is on average a meter … three feet …. above sea level.
Are they building flood defences?
No.
Are they panicking and getting the hell out of there?
No.
So maybe there is no sea level rise happening there?
There’s never going to be any sea level rise there?
Or maybe the only sea level rise anyone is seeing is perfectly normal or …. the people in charge of all this are climate change deniers and will all be swept away by the sea for their sins?
This is Diego Garcia …. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/diego-garcia-why-base-about-get-much-more-important-us-military-45682
These are pictures of Diego Garcia notice the fuel tanks on the beach and the runway ….

Anyone think they’ll just let this place go the way of Hull?
They authors should have checked on a map. Hull is located on the North side of the Humber Estuary, Grimsby on the South side. They are about 25 miles apart. Unless CO2 emissions cause Grimsby to sink by up to 5cm a year relative to Hull for the next 80 years, the model assumptions are wrong. The problem is that the climate modellers are incapable of sense-checking the outputs of their models.
There should be a really good spot for a tidal barrage, what with the permanent difference in sea levels. What’s not to like?
Of course in reality it doesn’t PREDICT any such thing. It PROJECTS.
There is NO remotely likely scenario that would deliver 9 meters of sea level rise in the next 80 years. Literally none.
This ‘paper’ is as near to academic fra*d as you’ll find.
These are the NOAA figures you have used. Who is responsible for publishing that data in the UK used by the NOAA?
They come from the PMSML:

I use NOAA because they offer proper graphing
Thank you Paul!
Does that stand for P*Sing MySelf Laughing?
Would that be the University of Melbourne in Victoria? Hardly the best place to judge local sea rises in Hull etc. or perhaps the distance makes it harder to be accurate.
Seems like the sort of thing JCU would say, especially for a High Court case against Peter Ridd, who still needs some more of our donations to be set for his case.

BTW it’s quite easy to produce flood scenario maps showing much of this region being covered by water.
Why’s that ?
Cos the land is already very low and in the last 3,000 years used to be covered by water.
Drained areas include the east coast salt marshes south of Grimsby
The Ancholme Valley, The isle of Ancholme, Sunk Island next to Hull etc.
There are no Roman ruins in Hull, cos it used to be a marsh
Then at the start of the medieval period heavy storms changed the path of the River Hull and created the island that Hull City centre stands on.
4-5,000 years ago much of the region was Lake Humber.
typo : Isle of Axholme
Same thing is true in Boston. Most of the city is land recovered from marshes and swamps.
I’d love to see that as a letter in the DT, Stew. Go for it!

So 2019 was UK’s 12th warmest year since 1884? Pathetic from the Met Office dullards – but it’s all your fault, they claim.
It’s that word “could” again, when have they ever been right in any sence of the word?
Excellent commentary
It’s a report of a report of a study. The only intelligence applied to writing the article was transcribing press releases and applying political spin.
The propaganda is relentless at this point. I see that temperatures in the the South East of England are due to break 30°C for the first time this month today. Watch out for some bogus “record” from the Met Office such as “the third hottest day ever recorded in Lyme Regis.”
The more it ratchets up the more convinced I am that the Warmists know a cooling period is imminent.
31C at Heathrow by 10am.
33C…………
34C
38.5° in southern Burgundy! Damn! What happened to my promised 40°??
I’m thinking of leasing a square metre of space for a recording site just where my (white-painted) garage door meets my (white-painted) garden wall. South-west facing: currently 53.2°! Makes you realise how meaningless the whole farce is.
Hull to be wiped out…………. perhaps not a bad thing ?

All designed to get screaming media headlines as usual. Once that’s achieved, this nonsense has served its purpose and will be quietly forgotten.
Science really should demand that these projected scenarios are given a % likelihood, with supporting evidence, of their occurring.
That would expose this garbage for what it is.
Correct. The headline is the objective. There is no concern with facts, just the agenda.
Indeed, Dennis.
PS How the Telegraph expects to secure new conservative-minded subscribers by promoting this type of rubbish is beyond me. As it stands I won’t even sign up to their free offer, let alone pay them anything, and this ‘article’ is typical of the reasons why.
When did a string of words become a ‘study’? Because The Scam long ago outsourced its ‘reports’ to the roomful of monkeys.
Hull to be wiped out.
Mixed feelings everywhere.
I’ve just sent a copy of this to a friend originally from Ull who now lives in Holland about 2m below sea-level. “Doomed, we’re all doomed”.
RCP8.5 – say no more!
From the paper: “Results show that for the case of, no coastal protection or adaptation, and a mean RCP8.5 scenario, there will be an increase of 48% of the world’s land area, 52% of the global population and 46% of global assets at risk of fooding by 2100”
