2. The sea could invade the inner part of the Spanish coast in 2100
due to climate change and melting ice in the Arctic, according to a
report by Greenpeace, on Earth Day and presents the main
conclusions of the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel
Climate Change.
Thus, the Spain report: towards an extreme climate. Risks not
stop climate change and the destruction of the Arctic, says that
our country will be a major hit in Europe by increased storm
surges and a rise in sea level. Also you will need to adapt
buildings and improve their coastal defenses.
The study reports that the combination of infrastructure
development, erosion and sea defenses thing can lead to a '
narrowing ' of coastal areas and some dunes disappear . The
highest risk areas are identified in the North Sea , the coast of the
Iberian Peninsula and the Bay of Biscay.
Thus, the loss would affect coastal towns like Marbella or San
Sebastian, although it would be more pronounced in areas of the
Atlantic coast and in the islands, "if leaders do not move quickly to
stop it," said the director of Greenpeace Spain, Mario Rodriguez.
