Fairbourne is a tiny Welsh village of only 700 people, tucked between mountains and the Irish sea. Founded around 1865, the pace is so slow that "Dragon's Teeth" tank traps from World War II still dot the beach to fend off a German invasion that never came. There's nothing particularly outstanding about Fairbourne to attract visitors. It's just a lovely little place to live.
Or it was. In 2014, the authorities decided that Fairbourne was at high risk of flooding from climate change. Let's just ponder that for a moment. Seven years have gone by since the arbitrary decision that Fairbourne was at risk. During that time, the little community has continued to thrive. It hasn't been flooded out of existence. In fact, the sea level has risen only 4 inches in the past century.
The people of Fairbourne are not asking to be evacuated. They're hanging tough, angry that they are being asked to leave their homes because of some nebulous threat. It's true that Fairbourne is built on a salt marsh that is below sea level at spring high tide, and the community is also at the mouth of an estuary. Nevertheless, it's been there since 1865, and no one who lives in Fairbourne is complaining about anything other than being forced out of house and home.

By “spring high tide” I think she means “spring tide”, high tide during a full or new moon.
Well, journalists............. Not the sharpest knives in the refrigerator.
Climate alarmists pagans will start sacrificing people soon to correct the natural climate changes.

Pseudoscience? Ignorance is bliss, they say.
Adapt to the climate models and not reality, is that your advice?

Looks to me as if they could just move up the hill slightly.
And New Orleans?
Well, fools do foolish things consistently so.......
I will translate. The elites want their picturesque little hideway for themselves.
LOL! Abandoned just in case their predictions prove to be true. They probably have a week or two before they’re flooded out. (Smartass mode activated)

It’s like covid: The hysteria is worse than the disease. They want to destroy it so they can attribute the cost to climate change, when it’s actually due to hysteria.
I was wrong
I looked at the google pics.
95% of village is basically below seal level ala New Orleans with only a giant seawall holding back the ocean.
That is the reason why they want the people to move.
