I vaguely recall some of that, but your helpful toot defo provided more info than i knew. I think something like this is why i feel, & tbh remain, so archly cynical... If Straya, & frankly the rest of the world, was genuinely honestly doing all the serious shit needed NOW to decarbonise & ameliorate, then seeking engineering solutions in flood zones like this would be ok. Knowing though that we & most others are totes NOT seriously addressing the crisis, fuels [boom tish] my severe pessimism, coz eg, engineering designs need engineering assumptions [in this case including expected heights & frequency of floods]. Such assumptions necessarily must be predicated on a certain "steady state" belief [plus safety margins thrown in]. That's all fine, IF we had reason to trust such assumptions. I do NOT trust them, simply coz there IS no steady state; humans are continuing to add more & more CO2 & CH4 to Gaia's atmosphere, thus more & more raising the enthalpy, ergo the heating energy, ergo... yada yada. <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NonLinear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NonLinear</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TippingPoints" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TippingPoints</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/PositiveFeedbackLoops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PositiveFeedbackLoops</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FossilFools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FossilFools</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RenewableEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RenewableEnergy</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ChangeTheSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChangeTheSystem</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/StateCapture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StateCapture</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RightToProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RightToProtest</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Biodiversity</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WeAreTotallyFscked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WeAreTotallyFscked</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Misanthropy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Misanthropy</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Karma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Karma</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NativeForests</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/StopLoggingNativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StopLoggingNativeForests</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FsckCapitalism</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/CognitiveDissonance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CognitiveDissonance</a>
