The Sea Is Too Hot - Tommy Black
As the world warms, the effects are felt differently in each place. Globally, June 2021 was the fifth warmest June on record*. It saw the community of Portobello and our visitors spend the days sunbathing, swimming, paddling and hosting volleyball tournaments. Evenings promenading with ice cream.
But as the sea warms it expands - and rises. Will the beach always be here? Will the Prom? https://coastal.climatecentral.org/map shows us what we might expect by 2050. But the future isn't written yet. Can we turn this around? If not, can we adapt?
