Wondering about the alternative to concrete seawalls on our precious beaches?
A scoping study on beach nourishment for Sydney was done in 2010: "Maintaining Sydney’s Beach Amenity Against Climate Change Sea Level Rise"
Totally ignored!!!!

How climate-driven 'whiplash' raised the human cost of the LA fires
These extreme 'whiplash' cycles can worsen wildfires, as we saw in the LA fires, which ended with a high human cost

#HydroclimateWhiplash — fast swings between alarmingly wet & seriously dry weather — is expanding due to #ClimateChange. Warmer atmosphere has greater capacity to hold water vapor & store moisture longer, causing longer dry periods & more intense precipitation -

Following historic wildfire disasters in Southern California, a statewide dry spell intensifies and extreme fire weather conditions persist in the south - Weather West
Remarkable wet-to-dry transition combined with extreme downslope wind event yields dual wildfire catastrophes in SoCal It's never good feeling when a dire weather or disaster risk prognostication comes to fruition; that "pit in your stomach" sensation has been described by many meteorologists, climate scientists, emergency managers, and disaster-focused researchers over the years. It certainly encapsulates

Severe seasonal swings between heavy rain and harsh droughts also raise risks of other problems. Retaining wall at back of our place collapsed after droughts cracked hillside and rains overloaded ground. 🌧️

thus increasingly frequent and/or intense swings between extremely wet and extremely dry conditions. Why does that matter in context of wildfire?

Global Hydroclimate Whiplash: Droughts, Floods, and Fires
Earth's atmosphere acts like a sponge, intensifying wet and dry cycles as it absorbs and releases water, according to new research.
