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.

That is what I’m thinking... Some real estate deal is in the works.
Did the town flood yet? I bet some ELITIST wants to buy the town and build a house on the land. If ELITES are concerned about oceans rising, why do they buy homes on the water?
... or invite Barack & Mike to build a waterfront compound.
Just a modest jetty, built up to 15 feet and surrounding the village, would give Fairbourne a THOUSAND YEARS of peace and tranquility. The jetty would be unsightly but a path, built on the top of it, would allow folks to stroll out and enjoy the sea air.
Let’s face it. There are people who want to destroy the small, quaint villages and drive the innocent residents to a big urban city. I say “screw them, not the people of Fairbourne!” 4” inches, my a$$!
Entire cities exist underwater as the seas have risen over millenia.
Why would they stop rising now?

Doesn’t the ocean have rights too? Who will speak for the ocean?
I live in Fairborn (OH)...so I guess I'm safe for now.
With the Brandon cabal in charge, NOBODY is safe. Anywhere. 😨😏🙌
